Subject: I have seen the documentary!! :)
Yep!
It's called Spectrum Diamond, and the first part is about spectrum
computer, and then the search for Matthew Smith. They didn't get Mr.
Smith himself on tape, but Phillip Bee & me at least! :)
There were also very many pictures from JSW games (Bulgarian Requiem,
JSW2, JSW3, Monstrum), they also showed two rooms of Willy's
Flashback (sorry, no Igor's or Andrew's games :( ), and it really
captures the spirit of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy with many sprite
close-up shots ;). The music is a "little" awful sometimes, but quite
likeable, and they made little JSW rooms that have the name of the
person on screen, and the room is about something that relates to
that person (like trees in my case, living in finland near big
forests). I like it a lot! They will show it in the autumn in Finland
on TV, dunno about UK.
