Thank you @dunebasher1971 - I have very happy memories of working behind the scenes on that show. I had grown up adoring Blue Peter and it was dream come true territory to be there. I was one of the judges, along with the presenters, Ian McNaughton and Biddy Baxter. I remember it all being great fun. Watching it now I'm blown away by how old fashioned it all seems, rather like the 1940s felt in the 1980s

@@Bungle2010 The infamous 'Microdrive'. It's an endless loop tape system which advances very quickly to provide a pseudo-random access storage device on a far smaller budget than a disk drive (although blank cartridges for it were more expensive than blank disks - it's quite an ask for someone to sacrifice a cartridge to enter this competition). They were developed for the Spectrum first. They were supposed to be available at launch (hence the keyboard having all the commands to operate them) but were a bit delayed and ROM support came from the ZX Interface 1 add on. The QL did use microdrives too but it came later. Although the same technology, the data format is different and so QL and Spectrum Microdrive cartridges are not interchangeable. Contrary to what is often reported, a new cartridge in a good working order drive was perfectly reliable, but over time the tape in the cartridges would stretch leading to them wearing out quickly and the whole technology certainly doesn't age well with reliably working examples today pretty rare.
