Incredible - I was just having a nostalgic BBC B search - and I find you - I thought the name seemed familiar... hi Philip - Dan here. Hope you're well, good selection of videos you have.
Afraid not. This is the only one I had transferred. I still have lots of music programs, though, which have never been done. I remember a 3D bouncing ball which bounced in rhythm (like a screensaver) to a version of SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS), for example.
The problem is that it's in a box amongst many boxes filled with hundreds of cassettes at my parents' place on the Isle of Wight. I can tell you it's on the B-side of a BASF C90 with the Cocteau Twins 'Victorialand' on the A-side but access to it is going to be difficult!
My first memory of any computer music was looking at my uncle's BBC Micro B playing an amazing rendition of "Sweet Dreams" through its internal speaker. I was completely transfixed at the time; if you have a copy of it (it displayed Sweet Dreams on the screen in yellow and green while playing) and could upload a video of it, it'd make my day!
Hi - as above, I don't have any other videos. I've got some audio transfers on old cassette tape of the music from some of them but even this video was obtained from me asking a BBC Acorn collector and historian about it via a website and he sent me his own transfer with an e-mail. I never saw the SWEET DREAMS clip with text, just that bouncing ball.
Can't help you there. The only other programmes I remember were music ones, such as mix your own version of BLUE MONDAY, or a single hardcore pornographic image which you would alternate with a similar one to have a lady doing something private with something rocket shaped.
I have an audio recording I made at Sixth Form. Myself and a mate got in early and turned on every BBC in the classroom and set the whole lot off doing Bones about half a second apart on each one. Joy...

Coor I remember this circulating our school computer room in the 80's.
Nobody ever knew who programmed it.
It's a Clever whoever programmed the idea anyway!

So hi-tech at the time. Ah, it's like being 16 again. Completely pointless, of course.

I remember Bones from my schooldays, sitting on the BBC Micro network.
Do you happen to have another music program from the Beeb days called Cold Tea? It was around the same time that Bones was around

Straying back late at school on the BBC Micro computers. You use to type....
*I am music
Then load up the following program, much to the annoyance of the teachers.
