Brits Who Made The Modern World - Elite

Peter Snow tracks down the unsung heroes behind the technology that helped Britain Make the Modern World – underdog engineers and inventors who succeeded against all odds. In this episode Peter meets two talented ex Cambridge undergraduates who, back in the early 80’s, managed to create the worlds first fully 3D computer game in their bedrooms. Elite was a game so ahead of its time, that it kick started an entire industry and made Britain a world leader in computer gaming.
