Default Video: BBC Micro Live Extra - AMIGA
The highlight of this episode is Fred Harris looking at the graphics/sound capabilities of the (then cutting edge) Commodore Amiga computer (1985).

You can get this episode via bit torrent. After registering at uknova, the torrent file can be downloaded from here: removed because of complaints below.

Cool! Any idea what format it's in? Is it a DivX AVI or something different?

Thanks for the info.

I've just forwarded this on to a friend in the UK and he says that the signup page doesn't work - and he's heard that they are no longer accepting new users... Do you know if this is the case?

Oh. Crap. I didn't know they stopped accepting new users. I can upload it to some webspace if anyone knows of a free place.

I wouldn't take it as gospel... he may be wrong...

How big is the file?

Unfortunately, web space is expensive and ADSL is capped at silly low rates in New Zealand, otherwise I'd help!

Excuse me ruining the party, but a.org posting guidelines kind of prohibit posting links to warez or posting about illegal activities.

Or has BBC sanctioned this redistribution?

If not, I suggest you edit out the links or any info regarding this video.

Hi, my name is Chris Brown. I wonder if maybe you can help me? My father appeard on Micro Live (I think maybe '86, but not sure) He was responsible for the creation of a flight sim Dr Soft's "PHANTOM COMBAT SIMULATOR". This footage of my father (Nick Brown) is the only in existence. I can't begin to explain what it would mean to me to have a copy of that footage, so if you know of anyone who might have it I'll very much be in your debt!!! Warm regards, Chris Brown
