Grundig's landscape-oriented remote control - and Duracell 4LR61

Staggering remote. Staggering! You'd need to use both hands. Imagine how much more exciting changing channels or adjusting the volume would seem when it's such a serious task you have to use both hands.

Plus she's got a surprise for us round the back, too. And you thought Reader Remote Controls would be boring.



"It's like Jesus walked into the room and handed me this..."



"He didn't though… I found it in the spare room when tidying up some old stuff. It is a truly awesome discovery though – combining two of the 'Idiot Toys' highly acclaimed and much endeared series."



"Back in the day, this Grundig remote was light years ahead of its time. Long thin pointy stick baton-style remote? No, no, no. Landscape format, please! Simply breath-taking."



"Here comes the bombshell, turn 'her' over, flap off [!] ohhh, yes. Mainstream it might be, but only in brand. Check out the format? Duracell 4LR61. You don't get many of them to the pound [or indeed many for a tenner either!]."



"So, to summarise, in case it's all too much for you to comprehend: Grundig TV remote control, revolutionary landscape format, light years ahead of its time. Combined with 4LR61 battery technology, stunning non-conformist rectangular format. It's a remote/battery combo of the highest calibre. Regards, Chris Mack Riddell"
