Wow, awesome!
Only problem is, the Beeb usually doesn't let us view their shows from this side of the pond. TV tax and all that, I think. I'm glad they show Doctor Who on SciFi...

If there is a way to make a copy of this from the BBC iPlayer which they should have it on, I will make it available to download.

Okay first off they changed the name to Micro Men and it was on BBC4 last night and is being repeated during the week alongwith some other programmes about computer history etc.
Missed the first 20 minutes as there was no mention of it being on! Really enjoyable, gives you an insight into Sir Clive Sinclair's mentality and the computer scene in the UK at the time. Nothing too heavy or serious, just a light hearted dramatisation of the events at the time.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n5b92Not sure if the media will be available out of the UK, but thats the link to the film itself. If you can access iPlayer abroad you will be able to see it there too. I am trying to download it also

I really enjoyed this. Even if it wasn't 100% accurate, it made for good drama and kudos to the deisgners (costume, set, etc.) for really conveying the late 70s and early 80s. It transported me back to those wonderful times!
Great memories and a fun movie!

Never knew that Clive Sinclair was more interested in inventing vehicles than computers (flying car, C5, the new A bike). Also that he never came up with the idea for any of his computers.

Well, grain of salt, I suppose. There might be more to the story than what was presented in the movie.
