Old audio datablast for BBC Micro, doesn't sound like it contains much, but I'd be interested to know what it is. Any takers?

Broadcasting software via TV audio in 1984
This caught my eye the other day. I don't think I'd ever head of or seen a binary be broadcast as audio over television before. The whole episode is pretty interesting if you like 80's British campiness but the broadcast is at 4:47 for those TL;DR folks. I'd love to capture the transmission and poke around with it in Audacity. There's a pretty decent reference to Acorn's data encoding format here: http://beebwiki.mdfs.net/Acorn_cassette_format
