Speccy on TV

On BBC Breakfast this morning the "click" mini program showcased the ZX81 and Spectrum as part of a "history of games" article. Also they showed interviews with Archer Mclean and David Braban.

Apparently you can watch it online and I think I have a recording of most of it.

    I missed the 9am repeat broadcast on bbc world today. There's another one at 9pm tomorrow so will try and catch that.

    Interesting, if not particularly informative. I especially liked the introduction of Archer McLean, where you can almost see the clueless interviewer going "Hang on, what games has he done? Um, oh I'll just say Atari and everything will be fine."

    Oh, and was there another program about Speccies, because this one didn't mention them at all.

    What's going on? This topic has been up 9 hours now, and still nobody has commenced the ritual ripping-apart-of-inconsequential-factual-errors that must by law take place every time the mass media covers a story of minority geek interest. So allow me to oblige:

    ELITE WAS THE FIRST 3D GAME? WHAT COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT!!!1!11!1

    That's probably what it said in Retro Gamer so it must be right.

    I know, it's a scandal. Everyone knows that Mr Kizza wrote Elite, not Messrs Braben et al!!!!!!!
