- What is water? It's a difficult question to answer, because water is impossible to describe. One may say the same of birds.
  
  What are birds? We just don't know.

Is that Olivia Colman?

- Yup! Next to Peter Serafinowicz. I think that’s Josie D’arby and Robert something (a comedy actor).

I don't know the show, but I know that's an original Commodore PET computer with arguably the WORST keyboard in mass market computing history.

He's a close up of this "war crime" of an atrocity.

Note. Later versions of this computer came out with a more normal Qwerty keyboard.

- Finally, a dedicated clubs button.

- That is pretty horrible. But I recognize a few things the C-64 inherited that makes it not quite a monster. The graphical shapes on the keys, and the Run/Stop (without the companion Restore key). No British pound key though, that's surprising. What is horrible is the tape drive, I didn't know how bad that was until I finally got a disk drive.

  it really does! This was the case with the grandchild of the Commodore Pet, the very popular Commodore 64. Check out all the extra characters on the SIDES of the keys:
  
  So many ASCII sprites baked right into the hardware and OS.
