Granada The Program - Celebrities

The clips are from Granada's 'The Program' as featured on the December 1995 Personal Computer World cover disc. From them you can see what the PC and Mac industy was like some 15+ years ago. If you'd like a copy of the interactive CD, or have information on the TV show the disc was made from I'd love to hear from you!

Shows 5 celebrities reviewing 5 games. We start with Hattie Hayridge reviewing Alone in the Dark 3 by Infogrames, then Ken Livingstone reviewing Sim City 2000 by Maxis, then Leslie Grantham reviewing Myst by Cyan Worlds, then Jon Pertwee reviewing Dark Forces by Lucas Arts (with BBC Licensing refusing to comment on a release of a Dr Who game) and finally Bill Oddie reviewing Magic Carpet by Bullfrog. The tips at the end of the Myst video were 2:40, 221 and 08.

"What happens on Loading Mission? Get me the Brigadier at once." Good old Jon! I miss the guy.

Pretty sad, Hayridge is obviously not qualified to review games. She obviously didn't know how to play AitD3 and didn't even really review it.
