Another chance to see the comedy drama about the rivalry between Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry tonight (Thursday) BBC4 9PM.
 
An excellent bit of telly. End is very poignant. Sad these men worked against each other. We could have been the home of the computer (and we should have been, as it was invented in UK). Really takes you back to those days. I had a ZX81 then a BBC B! I could never understand why we all went for the ZX81 when the Atom was so much better (price probaly and universal acceptance of Sinclair dominance).
 
Liked the cameo role by Sophie Wilson at the ending in the pub where they were reconciled. She was the landlady calling time. Sophie was originally a man (Roger Wilson, designer of the Acorn computer), but has since changed gender.
 
D'oh missed it!!! Guess it'll have to be iplayered... :-DOH2
 
When I was an Apprentice at Marconi, I went to a Party where most of the other guests were Sinclair Employees.

The air was thick with the sweet smell of grass.

Perhaps someone had just mowed the lawn.
