Micro Men

A 90-minute comedy drama focusing the rivalry between the maverick Sir Clive Sinclair (played by Alexander Armstrong) and his former colleague Chris Curry (Martin Freeman). The comedy drama documents the lengthy rivalry between the pair as they go head-to-head to achieve domination of the growing home computer market.

Micro Men is an affectionately comic account of the race for home computer supremacy, with Sinclair's ZX Spectrum and C5 computers battling Curry's BBC Micro.

Richard Klein, controller of BBC4, said: "Those of us who lived through the 1980s will remember the sense of excitement when gadgets and technology started to appear in our homes, but not many of us will know the fascinating stories behind their arrival. Alexander Armstrong and Martin Freeman are excellent choices to portray Sir Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry at a time when battling to have the UK's most loved home computer was their number one priority."
