The answers

  1. Since 1958

    A BBC kids' TV show that hands out badges

    Still going

    Still on CBBC, Fridays at 5pm. In 2025 it went fully pre-recorded after more than 66 years of live shows, and moved to a studio in central Manchester.

  2. Since 1996

    The official website for Michael Jordan's movie Space Jam

    Still going

    Still up. Warner Bros. moved it to spacejam.com/1996 in 2021 to make room for the sequel, and it still looks exactly like 1996.

  3. Since 1996

    The Flash Player browser plug-in

    Done for 2020

    Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and started blocking Flash content from running on January 12, 2021.

  4. Since 1866

    Paris's underground tubes for shooting letters across town

    Done for 1984

    Shut down March 30, 1984. Messages on blue forms called petits bleus ran through tubes laid in the sewers, and the network reached 427 km in 1934.

  5. Since 1916

    Mail delivered by boat to piers on Geneva Lake, Wisconsin

    Still going

    The mailboat runs every summer. Jumpers hop onto each pier, stuff the mailbox and leap back aboard, because the boat never stops. Tryouts were held again in June 2026.
