Lateral thinking:

Do it on a BBC Master computer with floppy disc. There's bound to be one

Even an old Eelctron will have mode 7 IIRC. Quite a bit smaller than a
BBC Master or a model A/B...

Nah, the Mode 7 was an addon you only got with the Plus1 or Plus2 or
somesuch interface :-) Come to that, any of the newer model Acorns would
also do the trick, though the teletext mode is done on a bitmapped
graphics screen rather than with a real chip. A3010/3020/4000/5000

If you want something with a bit more multimedia capability look for an
old Amiga A1200/A4000 - that can knock out bog standard PAL video modes
(including overscan and interlace). It has the advantage of decent pro
spec software for the task as well, like Scala.

Good point. Nice machines. Unfortunate there are not so many of them
available second hand though.

I have a 2000

It makes a nice telephone table beside the bed
