Well, they talked about robots, and the future, and how the robots are going to take over and make us all slaves. Oh, and the presenter played with a really badly tuned ZX81 for a bit. He typed the classic program:
10 print "HELLO"
20 goto 10
Just to demonstrate the awesome power of the machine.
They also showed an archive clip of Sir Clive in his C5 to illustrate what a cracking inventor he was. I bet he'll never live that down.

They also showed the Zike, Sinclair's electric powered bicycle from the early 90s.
The
BBC web site has further details of the ZX81. Can someone check the streaming video to see if they provide access to the geek guide segment?
