We hate 2020!

Just when we thought 2020 couldn't get any worse! We were about to re-open after many months of being closed but then disaster struck when a mains water pipe burst and flooded much of the ground floor of the museum.
Sadly re-opening has now been postponed. Read More >>>

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Exploring BBC BASIC

Back cover:
With this book you will quickly master the art of programming on one of the most powerful and versatile personal computers around: the BBC Microcomputer. You will learn to program in BBC Basic, not by memorising long lists of rules and commands but by actually doing programming tasks that teach you as you do them.
