Blooper
The archive footage used just before Chris is presenting the Acorn Atom to the press in 1980, shows a Commodore 1701 monitor, 2 Amstrad CPC464s and glimpse of a BBC Micro, all of which did not exist in the year where the scene takes place.

5/10

Shallow disappointment

Havily simplified, to the point of absurdity.

Clive is shown as a clown. They have shown his eccentric sides without representing his ingenuity. He is no mental slouch by any means.

Real dynamics around Sinclair Research was far more colorful.

Cliwe did not stick with C5 because he just couldn't see its flaws but because he was desperately trying to push it to some point where he could hit some market niche and make some money off it.

Anyone that has ever done some electronic projects, sold them and lived off that profit will tell you that sometimes you have to get creative to put bread on the table and some projects you do in some arrangements for the money.

Sinclair Research was not exception, rather the opposite.
