Who saw Micro Men on BBC4, then? Fantastic. I especially liked the way they mixed in the archive footage.

I'd heard that Sinclair was a bit tyrannical, but not to the extent he was portrayed in this. Some scenes were of course invented: I wonder if he really did throw telephones through his office windows.

It's sad that Britain led the way (ignoring CBM and Apple for the moment) in the variety of hobbyist and then consumer personal computers, only to lose the market to US giants (welcome back, CBM, Apple, MS, HP, Dell etc).

If you didn't see Micro Men, I highly recommend it. Should be on the BBC iPlayer.
