This archive looks well put together, especially having 267 programmes available to view...
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 121 related programmes, broken down into 2,509 categorised, searchable clips.

Thanks Sarah, this is an archive that brings back many memories.

However these sites should come with a warning, as in, "Danger! Perusing this archive will result in the loss of hours or even days. Do not access unless you are absolutely sure that you can spare the time." :lol:

Thank you Sarah for posting the link to this site.

Seeing Chris Serle again has brought back a lot of memories, we had a couple of BBC micros turn up at school, but none of the teachers really knew what to do with them, so Chris Serle was my first computer teacher :D (He is in no way responsible for my terrible IT skills, I take all the credit for that :shock: ).
