Last Saturday there was a one hour radio programme on the history of Black Adder, entitled "I have a cunning plan", listen to the programme.
It is very entertaining with contributions from most of the people who worked on the programme and numerous anecdotes.
interesting things: August 2003 Archives
Clive Sinclair has plans to release an update the C5 next year, see fan sites and an old review. In an article on the BBC, he is interviewed after taking a ride on a Segway.
His C6 is under wraps until next year, it should hopefully be an interesting machine. Clive Sinclair epitomises at times the British manufacturing entrepreneur, far from the bullish American and not the production line Far eastern approach, he built machines that are best described as quirky. It used to be said that the British invent things and the Japanese make them, things have changed a bit, but there is still a ring of truth to it. Even the empeg in car mp3 player was sold and has now been discontinued. Dyson is one of the few to survive.
However the UK owes its gaming heritage to Clive Sinclair for the ZX80, 81 and most of all the Spectrum, without them the UK would not have the position in the technical world that it does. Each time I use my mac it reminds me of swapping my old spectrum for cashback on my first Mac LC, so it sort of lives on.

How weird is this...
While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot.
While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
What direction is your foot going now?
