<p><strong><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n5b92">Micro Men</a></strong></p> “Affectionately comic drama about the British home computer boom of the early 1980s.”—aired last night, and on BBC iPlayer for the next week. I thought it was absolutely charming, as well as being a thought provoking history of the rise and fall of the British computer industry in the early 80s. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/bbc">bbc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/computer-history">computer-history</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/computing">computing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/history">history</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/iplayer">iplayer</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/micromen">micromen</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tv">tv</a></p>
