Anybody else on here looking forward to the upcoming TV program on BBC Four about Sir Clive?
Sinclair is the main protagonist of 'Syntax Era', the working title of a 90-minute drama described by BBC Four as 'an affectionately comic account of the '80s race for home computer supremacy'.
Check this: http://www.next-gen.biz/magazine/sir-clive-vs-the-bbc
The comedy drama(?) will star Martin Freeman of The Office fame as Chris Curry, while Sinclair will be played by Alexander Armstrong--also known as that guy from the Armstrong and Miller show."... I reckon this will be essential viewing! ;D
interest.. :o
thanks for the news baboon
oh guys help .. how can watch the BBC-4 (TV) live from PC ? the link say only for UK peoples? :o
you'll have to download it from BitTorrent Anemos.
When it's uploaded, i'll let you know if you like.
sounds like a good programme
yep.. sure,thanks Horace! ;)
When is it on?
I think sometime in October? ...so hopefuly not long. :)
"later this year"
it's only just filming apparently, although for something like this there wont exactly be much post-production to worry about.
The program is now called "Micro Men" instead of Syntax Era.
I found a trailer for the show here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/08_august/20/viewpoints.shtml

Yeah me too (the misses was hogging the tv!). I think its on iplayer and also repeated again though.
So is this only a 1 time 30 min show? I saw it on BBC 4 and it seemed to do the whole era in about 30 minutes.

Im downloading now but its says its 1 hour 30 mins long... and yep its a one off show.
I only caught the last half-hour then, I must have read the channel guide wrong, thought it said it only lasts 30 minutes. I will have to watch it again.
I downloaded this from http://thebox.bz/ very interesting and entertaining, highly recommended for anyone interested in Spectrum/Acorn ;)
