Really fake and awesome, the computer graphics and music is far too clean for that era. Done well though with a great sense of the era and appreciation for the nuances of educational TV programs from then.

Here's some real British children's television done for a special

The problem was I knew it was fake the moment the logo popped up and noticed a clean anti aliased stroke around the font. But it was still awesome. Simon Pegg is in it too. Filmstrips and videos like this from the 70s and 80s are among my favorite things in the world.

The BBC Acorn is a nice touch, that was the computer officially endorsed by the BBC in an attempt to create a national standard for computers for education. It was a terrible computer.

The Video Games Episode is cool too:



And here's an actual BBC computer ' programme' from 1986
