ZX81 and Sinclair pocket TVs

Does the ZX81 work with one of Sinclair's 1980s pocket TVs? I'm thinking about the flat one, rather than the earlier Microvisions.

I know you'd probably need some sort of adaptor to plug the ZX81 into it, although I'm pretty certain they did have external aerial sockets.

If it does work, is the output even remotely readable? Just curious.

Just for fun I made a whip lead (the flat screen has no input) and then realised just how small the display was!

Very cool! How is normal text on the eyes? Readable?

Playable....but I wouldn't like to be typing in a program!
