Fax is a British educational show, which included viewers sending in question, which aired on BBC1 from 7 January 1986 to 24 April 1988. The series was presented by Bill Oddie, Wendy Leavesley, Debbie Rix and Billy Butler.

Transmissions

The show was created to fill a vacant time slot after the BBC replaced Sixty Minutes with the Six O'Clock News, creating a gap between the end of children's shows and the beginning of the news. The third series of Fax was moved to a Sunday teatime slot, when Michael Grade moved the Australian soap Neighbours to the early evening on weekdays.
