The Guardian reports that there's a documentary in the offing from the BBC about the rivalry between the ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro and the rise of home computers during this period. Now some of you know that I have a particular passion obsession for stuff from this era, so needless to say I'll be keeping a close eye out for it. Probably not of much interest if you don't live in the UK though.

OK out of all the things you can do with this rivalry, WHY MAKE IT A COMEDY?! I don't want to have the idea that this rivalry is a joke
 
Sounds great! I love 80's tech, and the BBC have made some wonderful docs in the past.
 
Thanks for the reminder. I'll keep an eye out for it. Smiley Strange that it'll be a comedy drama.
 
Interesting, also, that tricycle looks awesome! Was it just a prototype or actually released?
