BBC Computer Literacy Project website

"In the 1980s, the BBC explored the world of computing in The Computer Literacy Project. They commissioned a home computer (the BBC Micro) and taught viewers how to program.

The Computer Literacy Project chronicled a decade of information technology and was a milestone in the history of computing in Britain, helping to inspire a generation of coders.

This site contains all 146 of the original Computer Literacy Project programmes plus 120 related programmes, broken down into 2,491 categorised, searchable clips.

Amazing website - it'll be of particular interest to:

• those forum members like me who were fascinated by the primitive computers in the 1980s and who are aged 40+ and
• those forum members with an interest in 1980s TV production values.

A handful of these programmes are available on the standard iPlayer service but there are 266 full-length programmes on this archive.

I remember watching Ian McNaught Davis and the crew on Sunday mornings with my Dad entranced at the advance of technology.

I hope you all enjoy.

Ah, the days of:
