This was on the bbc over Christmas and i had downloaded it but never got round to watching it.
Its the story of Clive Sinclair and Chris Curry who's comapny's Sinclair and Acorn went head to head in the 80s.
Sinclair is brilliantly played by Alexander Armstrong (Armstrong and Miller) and Martin Freeman (the office) plays Curray.
Armstrong brings a lot of comedy to Sinclairs role without loosing the true side to Sinclairs personality and Freeman does a solid job of Curray.
I dont want to spoil it too much incase you have not seen it but if like me you had a spectrum and spent hours doing useless things with it then you gotta see it guys.
One scene shows how Acorn nailed the BBC contract with a computer they didnt have and had to build in 4 days.
You should be able to get it on any torrent or newsgroup.
Well worth seeing.
