BBC4's 'Micro Men' programme last night captured the imaginations of many nostaligic 1980s home computer enthusiasts. The Guardian reported today that it gained 2.3% of the ratings for viewers with digital TV. Half a million viewers for BBC4 must be one of the highest ratings they've had.
I've already written about the programme and its relevance to the Science Museum's collections here as I spent a long time researching the influence of the team that built the BBC Micro. But I was wondering if anyone else noticed the super geeky twist at the end of the programme? The barmaid that called time in the Baron of Beef was in fact Roger/Sophie Wilson from Acorn. Oh what joys!
