BBC to record film on Acorn versus Sinclair in the 1980s Published: 20th Jun 2009, 23:35:40 | Permalink | PrintableA film to be called Syntax Era, that will document the rivalry between Clive Sinclair and Acorn co-founder Chris Curry, will be screened by the BBC with the help of The Centre of Computing History. The programme will star Martin Freeman, from The Office, alongside Alexander Armstrong, of Armstrong and Miller sketch show fame, who will play Sinclair. It is likely to be aired in the autumn on BBC4, we're told. Filming starts on Monday, June 22 in London. It was written by Tony Saint. More to follow later.

It should be an interesting program, it doesn't need to be a who's best thing. I have three spectrums and five Acorns, go figure
