I post about the original Direct Debit website from time to time and get the impression nobody cares. So I thought I'd try you lot! It's the most surreal "corporate" website I've ever seen, a product from the early web when the website was just run by the work experience kid and nobody in management actually understood what it was.
It's worth going forward to 1998-ish on web.archive.org too, as it was refreshed a bit then. I fairly recently managed to locate the Man vs Marrow screensaver, maybe I'll post about that some other time.

Was hoping to see orbital. I think that's a sample from some Christopher Eccleston flick. Also love their track Doctor?

Knew what it was without clicking, iirc it was an ITV series called "Messiah" or something like that.

Ecclestone is supposed to be the son of God, returned...or some shite like that.
