Bryan Burton-Lewis has a living, breathing rock-n-roll resume going back over 30 years, but the one gig that sticks out - and he's never gone on the record about - is being the voice of Axel for Crazy Taxi.

Britain had chatrooms, email, online banking and multiplayer games in the 1980s.

It was called Prestel. It ran on your telly, over the phone line, in teletext graphics, and it billed your parents by the minute.

Then the web arrived and we forgot it happened.
