At 5:37 does anyone catch what the customer asks the attendant? Something about memory and the attendant says it's easily upgraded from 1 megabyte. Seems a bit low for 1991, if he's referring to RAM? The Macintosh Plus came out in 1986 with 1 meg of RAM standard, the Mac Classic 2 in 1991 with 2 meg...although I suppose there's a difference between "released" and "affordable"!

@anthem47 Specifically, "(Customer) The uh, computer, what kind of memory capability is that one? / (Shop assistant) Uh, about 1 megabyte but it's easily upgraded.". This series is based on a book from 1990 likely written the year before.

By the way, if anyone is wondering what game is being played at the 6 minute mark, it is Shadow Of The Beast, and it's being played on an Amiga 1000, which is actually an old system for 1991, as it was released in 1987 and discontinued in 1991. So, the computer being sold in the store would not really be there. The book came out in 1991 too so there's no excuse. The Amiga was and still is a fantastic system though, the 1985 machine still surpassing PC 1991 graphics at the time.

[mickjt84]

Oops, I mean the 1000 was released in 85 and the A500 in 87.

Brilliant! I've been searching for this for YEARS! Thanks for posting :) Don't suppose episodes 8, 9 and 10 are forthcoming?

[SawajiRisako]

I dunno why I always remember this wrongly as [best kept secret].

[DevilMaster]

@mickjt84 They were probably talking about an Amiga computer (probably an Amiga 2000), which came with 1 MB of RAM.

I FINALLY FOUND IT!

I've been trying to remember this show for years.

Wow, it took some creative googling to find the title of this show. Brings back memories. Shows like this and The Girl From Tomorrow, Spellbinder a few years later, kids had some awesome TV options back then!
