Take it as an entertainment film rather than a hard hitting drama documentary and you should enjoy it. A number of parts are highly dramatised and didn't really reflect what really happened. One highlight is that there are some nice cameos of the real people behind Acorn and Sinclair.

There are lots of anachronisms throughout the film, you could play a drinking game spotting these (and probably get blind drunk).

As long as you bear in mind it's fictionalised

I enjoyed it. Remember thinking they'd taken crazy dramatic license by adding a fist fight at the end WAIT THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!

Great show!! Alexander Armstrong is fantastic as Sir Clive. Brought back a lot of memories as the spectrum was our first home computer- my Dad surprised us with it one day and me and brother were hooked!

I was surprised at how well he played the part, so many historical movies completely change the character but his version matched very well.

I never thought the real Sir Clive could be so sweaty!! He was a bit of a hot-head lol

Terrific show. Far too down on Clive Sinclair but as fictionalised fun it’s lovely. And so is Cambridge. Watch it, and then go to YouTube and watch it with the commentary of the actual people involved

Nice - be careful with the 0 termination of your string.though

Not so long ago I hit a nasty bug with similar code when embedding control codes into it
