Back in my day
it was 01 811 8181. Presumably asking what the number is to call Saturday morning kids' TV is an accurate method of calculating someone's age, like carbon dating or counting the rings of a tree...

You might be right.
I remember it as 081 811 8181.

It never seemed to work as well with 0181, and I think the presenters knew it.

Surely it's
"01 (if you're outside London) 811 8181"
