Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :It's already happened with the new COMPAC telephone link - 'No, no, Perth, this is New Plymouth - not Wellington' - And there are plenty of reasons why - 'Presenting a live telecast via Telstar direct from the U.S.A.' it could happen - with the latest means of communication. 'Sorry, wrong satellite'. But plenty of opportunities to get the right numbers in the rapid raffles at the Plunket Society's Monster Fair at the Town Hall tomorrow! 12 July 1962

In the first cameo a woman in her dressing gown struggles with a wrong number on the phone (problems with the new Compac link); In the second cameo a man waits enthusiastically for a Telstar link from the USA but instead gets an image of Krushchev, the Soviet Premier shaking his fist with a hammer and sickle in the background and then gets an apology saying the wrong satellite was beaming; in the last cameo a man is happy to be able to take a raffle at the Plunket Society fair. Refers to problems with technology.
