For those of us who grew up in the 80's, you need to tune into BBC Four tonight (8th October).

First up at 8pm is 'Electric Dreams' - A family spends a week living as they would have back in the 80's. A fascinating insight into the technology(or lack of it) from not so long ago.

Followed at 9pm by 'Micro Men' - a comedy/drama based on the fierce rivalry between the head of Sinclair Research, Clive Sinclair and an ex-Sinclair employee, Chris Curry, who formed Acorn Computers.

Definately worth getting getting a bottle of Thunderbird in and reminiscing

Yes, looking forward to it. I was an acorn atom fan myself, used to arive as a kit of parts and you soldered it all together yourself. Ahhh ... those were the days of propa computers ... think I still have some scars from the soldering iron.

Micro Men was a great show.

It's on iPlayer for those that missed it.
