Interesting. Nice to see something like this forgotten part of the industry. It reminds me of the similar one done for Apple and MS in the U.S. Nothing like a bit of educational historic drama.

Would be nice to see a bit with all those E.T Atari cart being buried in the desert. Lol.

I have to admit, I thought someone had made a mistake at first, as I always thought the "war" was between Spectrum and C64 owners, with BBC owners seen as posh knobs on the sidelines. Instead it's something I was probably too young to be aware of, at the time, I'll have to keep an eye open on the listings for it.

We've been very much involved with the production of this film. We supplied all the computers and associated props. From what I saw on the monitors during filming it looks like it's going to be a really good film and in the most part true to the original events. We're really looking forward to watching it in the autumn. www.computinghistory.org.uk
