Will this programme be repeated anywhere I missed it.
Please tell me I can watch this again as I missed it as we lost signal.
Regards, Ian.
Have you thought of making a programme about the ill-fated Tracked Hovercraft project? I was involved as structural engineer for the track in its later stages, and was mortified when it was axed by Michael Heseltine in about 1971. I was particularly impressed by Professor Eric Laithwaite’s work on linear motors, which eventually resulted in the maglev system now in use. The prototype test vehicle is now an exibit at the Railworld Museum here in Peterborough.
Cant wait top see this, I 1st saw this game on BBC (Computer not TV Station) and had it as soon as it was available on Commodore 64, was addicted to it for many years, till was forced but non supporting Industry to kill it off. with the onset of PC & better games. A real pity I have the boxed games an nowt to play them on. Will be good to watch "How Elite became a gaming classic"
