I am goign to guess (without watching it)_ that is is a clip from the UK
television programme 'Spitting Image' from aobut 25 years ago.
I was at universtiy when that was firt boradcst, and hat a repution for

an 'RS232 Interface Lead' at which point I pulled one out of my pocket.
The reaction from the otehr hackers present was priceless...
