    Craig, I recorded the whole show when it was broadcast, there's some incredibly intricate stuff they covered.
     
    I know you can't access the BBC iPlayer over there, but the original programme is called Mechanical Marvels - Clockwork Dreams if you want to do a search for it.

    Funnily enough mate I only watched it again the other day!
     
    The hard drive on my recorder was getting a bit low on free space and while I was having a declutter I spotted that and just couldn't resist looking through it again.

    Ooo...  That was interesting too!  I think I'll send it to the team I had with the Alternative Energy startup.  Gearboxes are a BIG hassle - lol.

    I watched (and recorded) a BBC4 documentary about it a while back (called: The 2000 Year Old Computer), but I haven't seen this one yet:
