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.

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.
