It's no secret that #RaspberryPi was inspired by the home computers of the #1980s.

We teamed up with author Tim Danton to tell the story of 19 of those computers, which inspired a generation.

'The Computers That Made Britain' deep dives into everything from the Dragon 32 and ZX81, to the Amstrad CPC 464 and #Commodore Amiga.
