Steve Regan was a
UK based
television critic who worked for the
ORACLE teletext service during the 1980s and early 1990s. For many years he wrote a popular column on the service under the pseudonym
Sam Brady in which he regularly poured scorn on the "middle class blandies" he believed were running the
British television industry.
The column was very popular with viewers and when ORACLE closed on December 31 1992, the column was briefly taken up by its replacement Teletext on 3. However it was dropped following a change in direction by Teletext.
