Agreed, well worth a watch. Used to have a speccy myself with the rubber keys, much better than the rubbish you get nowadays ;-)
i had a ZX81 and ZX48K, both useless! games crashed all the time but fun nonetheless..
Had a zx81 , moved on to a dragon 32 / then 64 , carp amstrad, then to my beloved Amiga ( best ever )
i seem to remember when this was first on Charlie Brooker did a programme on computer games that night as well which was excellent
ah thats on tonight as well at 23:30 BBC4
Charlie Brooker sets his caustic sights on video games. Expect acerbic comment as he looks at the various genres, how they have changed since their early conception and how the media represents games and gamers.

I was a 1k ZX81 man myself, could do nothing with but learn to program. Progressed to ZX Spectrum then Amiga 600 and 1200 before finally getting my first PC.
Manic Miner still ranks one of my favourite games, I spent hundreds of hours on it, level 16 was my highest.
