BBC computer archive

The BBC have released every programme they ever did about the 80s computer revolution here https://computer-literacy-project.pilots.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/programmes


Some absolute gems there, mainly about that specific period in time when the British where spearheading the introduction of computing to the home.

Loads there. Will have to have a proper look soon. Cheers.

Thank you for sharing this, biggy. I will probably make sure to archive these myself, as the BBC will decide to throw them in the bin without warning at some point.

Nice find.

The BBC seem to be creating a few of these mini-sites lately (such as Acropolis for the Sound Effects Library), I heartily approve.

It's more like the internet used to be - little pockets of interest, thematically gathered together, rather than everything being in a big bucket of transient CONTENT.

Hopefully they'll be adding to it if they can get the rights for more stuff. BBC2's The Net (1994 onwards) being a particularly evocative slice of the times.

Saw The Net on a download site the other day. Didn't get it though.
