For anyone who lived through the home computer revolution of the 80s, particularly in the UK, you'll probably be like me and fondly remember programmes like Making the Most of the Micro & Micro Live etc.
Well all that computer literacy stuff has been made available, 267 TV programmes in total, along with BBC Micro programmes
….and you can run 166 BBC Micro software programs that appeared on the shows... in your browser! I'm transported back to my teens 🙂

Yep, hopefully the TV programmes aren't region locked to the UK, somewhere in there are interviews with a certain Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak amongst others.
They're full of optimism of what computers could and would be able to do... loved that stuff.

Great heads up! Cheers. I remember clearly watching one episode on graphics and being boggled by a 3D wire frame image of a box spinning on the screen 🙂
There's a wireframe rotating house under the software tab on that website... maybe it was that.
Incidentally the browser emulator doesn't seem to work on IE but is ok in Edge, haven't checked Chrome.
