What became of?

Did Buzby actually survive into the British Telecom era? Seems a bit strange for them to be using ex-GPO mascots after privatisation, but I suppose anything is possible. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 00:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

BT was privatised in 1984 (first tranch). I believe that Buzby existed up to around this time. Darkieboy236 (talk) 00:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
It still needs to be sourced. -- Dethlock99 (talk) 21:22, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Buzby has not only survived privatisation but is still around, It appears that BT Group still own the rights to the character who was used as recently as 2012 in a marketing campaign related to the 2012 Olympics [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.239.222 (talk) 17:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

My recollection is the Buzby was widely disliked (or at any rate it was fashionable to say you hated him - maybe people secretly regarded him with wry affection) and once vied with Mrs Thatcher in a poll for "most irritating character on TV".
