About the "vote now on your keypads moment" at 20:30 or so. I think that what Dave is thinking of with the "biddly-biddly" noises is the CBBC gameshow 50/50. (at least that's what immediately came to mind to me as a slightly younger Boomer). It's Definitely not what the book is referencing, as that didn't come out until the late 90s, but maybe they're both pulling from a common core of 90s British gameshow vocabulary! Here's a link to the specific sound effect and voting on keypads, on youtube: https://youtu.be/Lhr8pKsyL-U?t=660

Well I will now! -D
Did you guys ever read 'The End of Eternity' by Issac Asimov? The Organisers from the Fourth Dimension are very reminiscent of The Eternals from that story. Even up to both organisations being responsible for getting rid of alien creatures and so on.
