Oh I loved the computer programme! Everything was new, exciting & unknown. Chris Searle was the perfect presenter for it, and never took himself too seriously. RIP Chris Searle. ⌨️ 🖨 💻

Lovely to hear the crisp sound of magazine pages being turned there. I haven’t heard that since the invention of the Internet. 🙄 @FelixLongbrook @toontoon999 @cyp_toon

The Horizon program that preceded it is very much worth a watch. Now The Chips Are Down.

I don't suppose a clip exists of the time he got told off ( for sitting above a very spiky fence ) by a St John Ambulance man at the Biggin Hill Air Show does it...?

Sad to hear that presenter Chris Serle has passed away, at the age of 81. Those of a certain vintage might remember him co-hosting (alongside Ian McNaught-Davis) the 1982 series 'The Computer Programme', a show created to introduce the viewer to the world of computers. RIP.
