About this video

The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park houses a unique collection of computers.

Our expert team have maintained, restored and rebuilt some of the most important systems in Britain's business, war-time and personal computing history.

You can't see our amazing collection during Covid-19, but you can speak to the experts who'd usually be on hand in our galleries as TNMOC is running a series of online video Q&As.

In this video, our team discuss the BBC Micro, a successful British home computer from the 1980's that carried the name of the UK's national broadcaster and was widely used in schools.

CORRECTIONS:
The Interactive LaserDisc system shown in the video is of course "The Domesday" machine, rather than the Doomsday machine. Somehow we crossed wires with Dr. Strangelove on that caption.
