In the late eighties, the only regularly updated source of information relating to Interceptor that I could find was ITV's Teletext service, Oracle. The TV guide editors seemed to be big fans of the series.

They brought us news of the new series months before it was actually aired and later broke the news of the cancellation. They also ran a phone vote to gauge if the public wanted Interceptor to stay. They kept us up to date for quite a while after the last episode was shown, even bringing us quotes from Sean O'Kane himself.

At the time, I remember reading a poem sent in by a member of the public.

Some fifteen years later, the original author has e-mailed the poem to me. Continue to the next page to read it.
