Incorrect origin

[edit]

While this is a reasonable discussion of the Little Britain catchphrase, the phrase itself is older than that, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv7XW940OI8 from Hill Street Blues in December 17, 1981. Francis Davey (talk) 05:37, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Even going back to 1970: https://www.umass.edu/defa/film/4786/ ("Episode" [=segment] 4). It's about two broadcast technicians from East Germany and the Soviet Union, respectively, who construct a transmitter for Radio Havana Cuba that computers from their countries deemed unfeasible beforehand. ~2026-26783-48 (talk) 13:14, 2 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
