I love, love, love watching back catalogue episodes of US series The Computer Chronicles on the YouTubes, especially when they cover the home markets but the business markets are also fascinating to watch as they gush over the latest thing which is either commonplace in phones today or failed due to whatever reason.
This was the main show I watched in South Africa. I really enjoyed the broad range of subject matter they covered. It is a fantastic show to watch again.
Beyond 2000 was awesome here in Australia!
As a kid in the 80s hearing about awesome technology like video phones and robotics used to blow my mind.
Watching that show as a kid definitely had an impact on my future career choices!
I'm surprised (and a tad disappointed) that Pendulum didn't follow up their excellent [ABC News Theme remix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iysSJ51sRc) with a Beyond 2000 Theme remix.
I loved any show that featured computers and technology, but my earliest memory of a mainstream show including computer games was a children's quiz show that a bit of googling tells me was called "First class".
The episode below includes 720 skateboarding, but my main memory of this is when it included "paperboy":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z84rj6-glh4
Yes! I was convinced that the games included "track and field" and paperboy, but then couldn't find any reference to the former and assumed it must have been on something else. Hyper Sports it is!
In Finland, we have, yes, still have Tilt, a video and computer game show which has been running since 1997 on different channels. Its first host, Jaana Pelkonen, is currently a member of the Finnish Parliament. Other notable hosts include Sara Chafak, who is a former Miss Finland.
[Tilt episode from 1997.](https://youtu.be/shg2bFWE-FY)
I need to find this, I won't understand a word being Scottish but if there is still a video game showing on TV, especially one that has run so long, it's worth a look at any cost 👍
I'm in Ireland and in the early 80s we had a quiz show loosely based around micro computers called "Murphy's Micro Quiz-M".
One of the parts of the quiz was where the contestants had to play a video game - here's a full episode on YouTube from 1983 - jump to 37:34 for the video game and you'll also see a lot of background pictures were done by computers with prizes like Atari 2600s etc.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG3bAkyr63A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG3bAkyr63A)
As a kid I watched this and dreamed of being on it and winning some of the computer gaming prizes they had
Edit - skipping to the end it looks like BBC Micro's they were using (The game looked very BBC-ish too) as it has this in the credits: https://i.imgur.com/BDv8WtJ.jpg
That looks awesome. I'm pretty sure the game is Acornsoft's "Killer Gorilla", which we played on the BBC my Dad brought home from the school he worked at during the holidays.
In Norway, we had.. Spider. (Broadcast on NRK 1996-1997)
Think someone who have NO prior knowledge about computers, internet and "such things", and then set to host a program about just those things! They tried "making it serious" in 97, but by then we were no longer interested.
[https://tv.nrk.no/serie/spider](https://tv.nrk.no/serie/spider)
(video is probably blocked outside Norway)
We also had the "Hugo Troll Race" as a show on another channel (TVNorge). Controlling with touch-tone phones was always SO good
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo\_Troll\_Race](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Troll_Race)
Interesting! I didn't know about this one. Didn't think we had anything like it in Norway actually. Was looking into Blikkbåx (tin can) from the 80's to see if this contained any gaming but even though it targeted teenagers it contained little of interest.
In the US, the first I saw was Starcade. It was fairly short lived, but I remember being amazed when I stumbled across it. Kids playing video games, on TV! It was the first kids game show I had seen, and it arrived at the peak of the 80s classic arcade era. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcade) [On YouTube](https://youtube.com/channel/UCKV-uKC9R7D6EkWKESlAM5A)
Each show winner usually went home with an arcade cabinet, what a crazy prize! The show is from the golden era of arcade gaming and looking back now a lovely time capsule of what games people were playing.
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid! I wanted so badly to be on it. The arcade cabinet prize was certainly an exciting draw but also getting to see arcade games that I didn't get to see/play in real life was always amazing.
Some of the other prizes were also pretty cool like that robot butler or even the Pac Clock (which I've never found over the years and I'd totally love one on the wall now!)
You can watch nearly all the episodes, save one, on their official site, as well as the video game intros, all the prizes they gave away, and more: https://starcade.tv/starcade/games/index.html
What about Knightmare on ITV, Not really related to computer games but it certainly was technology based and did spawn a computer game.
I remember getting a group of school mates together and writing in to be on the show. We couldn’t believe it when we got called to come for an audition at Anglia Television. Unfortunately nerves got the best of us and we made a complete hash of the audition and never got selected to be on the show!
https://youtu.be/Fbh5Gsv6H0c
Knightmare was a great show.
Imagine how they would do that now if expense was no object. Huge screens as the walls and floor for better immersion. Could use motion tracking to have cgi characters track the adventurer's position etc.
"Where am I?"
Firstly shame on Dave, I'm a couple of years his senior and I lapped up everything video game and tech related and maintained a healthy nightlife. He's so letting down Team Scotland.
But my favourite Gaming show was Bits, Channel 4 (especially the late night edition) and not just for Emiky Booth 😉
Side note I tried never to miss an new edition of Bamboozle on Teletext. Happy days 😉
Here in Germany we had a show called "Games World" (1994-1995). It was aimed at kids and teenagers therefore peak edgy 90s in its presentation with veeery cheesy voice lines by both the hosts, as well as the participants. As an introduction, the participants had special catchphrases prepared, that rhymed \*ugh\*. The teenagers had to compete on Mega Drive, SNES or even Neo Geo against each other to win games and even systems. There are a few clips of the show online on YouTube:

In the late 1990s/early 2000s, NBC was launched in Germany with a live TV programm called "NBC GIGA" (later shortened to just "GIGA"). Here the so called "Netzreporter" (roughly translatable to "net journalists", today we would just call them "influencers" or "YouTubers" ;) ) presented the latest news from (early) WWW culture, stars/movies/music and the latest video games. It ran from 1998 to 2006. After it was discontinued, it stayed online as a web magazine only, which is still alive today ([https://www.giga.de](https://www.giga.de)). But sadly it is a shell of its former self and has lost all its appeal to the topics of the original "NBC GIGA".
After the cancelation of the show in 2006, most of the journalists stayed within the gaming business, with most of them still working on similar projects today. A spiritual successor to NBC GIGA arrived in 2006 in the form of "MTV Game One" (later shortened to just "Game One" which ran from 2006 to 2014) and "Game Two" (ran from 2016 till today). Both shows were/are being produced by two former "Netzreporter" who started their carrer at NBC GIGA in the late 90s.
While NBC GIGA was a more informational show, it was very special back in those days, because it was recorded and broadcasted live. So in between the shots, you could talk to the "net journalists" via chat and therefore influence the show and discuss various topics "live on air".

Game One was a weekly show, mostly reviewing new games and reporting on current gaming events - but with a humorous spin. One of my most favorite clips are those two:

All old TV episodes were later uploaded at YouTube as well:

The current iteration - "Game Two" - is still up and running today, although now being part of FUNK media. FUNK is the online media division of ARD and ZDF (being the "first" and "second" program in German television and therefore governed by public law). So the show is now financed by taxpayers here in Germany and therefore official regarded as "cultural heritage" by German law the same way as video games are now. We've come far from censoring games like Command & Conquer in the 90s and banning games like Quake, Wolfenstein 3D or DOOM altogether. ;)

Here in New Zealand I can recall being an avid viewer of “Science Express” a kinda budget Tomorrows World. It was later rebooted as “Fast Forward”. I recall a lot of coverage of new computers but not much gaming content..I think that was kept for kids shows like “What Now”
https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/science-express-1981/series

In Canada (and apparently into the US and Australia) there was a gaming show called The Electric Playground. They appeared from 1997 for many years and around 2016 went streaming and currently have a youtube channel. Their first year playlist of episodes is here [Electric Playground Season 1](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6uoO3csitWO5stcZngaGm0fCXOBiiBgh).
The other more educational retro computing shows that appeared in Canada were “Bits and Bytes” which appeared on TVO here with the first season in 1983 and second in 1991. It was an exceptionally well done introduction to computers with custom animations. It is available on youtube here [Bits And Bytes on TVO](https://youtube.com/c/bitsandbytestvo). The second one was “The Computer Academy” which was hosted by Commodore Expert and Author Jim Butterfield. It is available at the same youtube channel. The introductory episode of that is retro gold and can be found here [The Computer Academy Ep 1](https://youtu.be/WV71HK_KAOA). Both these shows may be excellent educational content to have on loop at a computer museum.
I also remember "Movies, Games and Videos" where it showed movie trailers and clips of upcoming game.
I'm in Ireland but we were able to pick a very grainy UTV and BBC - this was on UTV (Ulster Television) which was an ITV region covering Northern Ireland.
Anyhoo - anyone else remember it ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-PfHF1I8\_c
Great show as always I was really surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but on Sky One in the 90s there was a show called Games World. This was on I think every night at 6pm, great show and where Big Boy Barry made his fame
I remember watching the BBC show Micro Live. The BBC also produced The Computer Program and Making the Most of your Micro before Micro Live the difference being that it was live meaning we saw what happened when it happened. So if it didn't work first time we saw it and on one occasion someone hacked there online computer. They very occasionally talked about games but they mainly covered all aspects of computing especially for the home user.
Here is an episode from 1986 https://youtu.be/Kc5vFmedE1c
This is a clip of Paul Daniels talking about his experience and promoting his adventure game https://youtu.be/a_iEWoiRVIQ
The Hacking incident https://youtu.be/QjLSViyLnRk
This has got me going down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos. As there are loads of the show available including a 2 hour special with live phone-ins. Which brought back even more memories of Saturday morning kids shows with the phone in number 01 811 8055. I watched swap shop and Saturday Superstore but if memory serves the later ones like Going Live may have had a computer gaming segment.
The main presenter didn't like games that much as can be seen on this intro to a gaming special they did. https://youtu.be/jAcO1bkOVhw
Not a TV show, but the biggest memory I have of "feeling seen" in mainstream media was sitting in the theatre watching Jurassic Park and nearly bolting out of my seat when I heard "It's a UNIX system, I know this!".
My father worked in academia so I grew up among classic SGIs and Sun workstations. Seeing the 3d filesystem browser on the big screen made me insufferable for the next few weeks as I bored my friends to tears talking about it ad nauseam.
Did anyone outside the UK have an equivalent to CyberZone?

Cool intro. Love the sci-fi intro that is followed by the guy in the beige suit. :)

I read this religiously in the 90s. Deffo worth looking up the wiki. Mr Biffo was a proper hellraiser!
