Speccy History In New TV Drama "Syntax Error" Coming To BBC4

baboon · September 14, 2009, 04:55:09 AM

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!

"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
