The invention relates to the provision of broadcast data processing and display apparatus comprising at least two parts. The first part acts as a base and onto which base, said second part can be selectively positioned for use. The second part can be selectively usable independently and/or by connection to a further item of apparatus. The second part includes a memory means in which data from which at least part of a radio or television programme can be generated can be selectively stored for subsequent retrieval and display via screen and or speakers on the second part and/or first part and/or said further item of apparatus. Typically the first, base part includes at least one tuner for selective tuning to a frequency in response to a user selection, to receive the broadcast data for television and/or radio programmes which can then be stored in the base or the memory means in the second part.
