The BBC's early-1980s series about computers opens with this first episode, broadcast on January 11, 1982. It arrives at a moment when home computing was new to most British households, and the series sets out to explain what these machines are and what they can do for people with no technical background. Given the thinness of the surviving record for this episode, little else about its specific content or presenters can be confirmed here, but its place in broadcast history is clear: it was part of the BBC's push to bring computer literacy to a general audience just as affordable home computers were reaching British living rooms.
