The BBC made an effort in establishing web literacy, but that never quite seemed to take off. I seem to remember something called Auntie, which makes the success of this all the more interesting.

Edit: It would seem not, it was called Chip Shop:

Weirdly they have the address to write to in the programme listing with the post code removed, I don't know if it is defunct or for GDPR.

- codeulike 6y agoThere was also Micro Live which was pretty successful and well remembered I think. BBC Micros were in lots of schools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc5vFmedE1c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc5vFmedE1c
