"The CLP was undoubtedly a success for the BBC; millions of viewers watched the TV programmes, hundreds of thousands of users bought the machine and it was a fully integrated response across BBC Enterprises, Education and Engineering. In this report, we look at how that success came about. What can ongoing attempts at rebooting creative computing across the UK learn from the CLP?"
