On November 22nd, 1987, A TV pirate hacked into WTTW Channel 11 in Chicago, Illinois, to interrupt the broadcast of Dr. Who. He rambled on and on about random stuff, not making much sense. his words were hard to understand. We here at P.M. Productions have been interested in this clip for years, but have never tried to subtitle now.
Then on November 30th, 2010, a Reddit user Posted an essay stating he believes he knows who was behind the hijacking. This is his essay here..
Enjoy.
EDIT: December 11th, 2021; Song is “Aquatic Ambience“ by David Wise
EDIT: April 23rd, 2022; Over 1 million views over 10 years. I didn’t think this video would blow up the way it has.
