open-in-new
<p><i>The Computer Programme</i> is a TV series, produced by <a href="/facts/Paul_Kriwaczek/3RgDwJMT">Paul Kriwaczek</a>, originally broadcast by the <a href="/facts/BBC/qFateIz8">BBC</a> (on <a href="/facts/BBC_Two/TErpjSD4">BBC 2</a>) in 1982. The idea behind the series was to introduce people to computers and show them what they were capable of. The BBC wanted to use their own computer, so the <a href="/facts/BBC_Micro/YJxxPlIl">BBC Micro</a> was developed by <a href="/facts/Acorn_Computers/jCddUElC">Acorn Computers</a> as part of the <i><a href="/facts/BBC_Computer_Literacy_Project/YJxxPlIl">BBC Computer Literacy Project</a></i>, and was featured in this series. The series was successful enough for two series to follow it, namely <i><a href="/facts/Making_the_Most_of_the_Micro/zCf9u6dP">Making the Most of the Micro</a></i> in 1983 and <i><a href="/facts/Micro_Live/nCplQYbn">Micro Live</a></i> from 1984 until 1987. </p>
