I don't know if anyone remembers this programme on BBC4 last year. I was hoping to watch it again but it is no langer available on iplayer. Is it anywhere else?
(It might have not been that good but I was pregnant and doped up on codeine and fentanyl at the time. I clearly remember some of it as I named my baby after one of the characters...)

Was this was the Sinclair versus the other guy (Apple?) docu-comedy thing? if it was, it was very good. Sadly no idea were you can down load it though.

Marrow?

I'm intrigued by documentary shows like this, the Apple/Microsoft one was excellent (The Pirates of Silicon valley).

Apparently Steve Jobs had discussions with Acorn early on for getting one of the Apple OS's onto the Acorn kit.

I guess its actually happened in a way, but not via the route originally intended.
