BBC micro in new ghostbusters film.

Post by gazj82 »

Just went to see the new Ghostbusters film with the family. I was shocked to see a bbc micro used in the film. It was paired with an ibm monitor which was wierd, but still really cool to see it in there. I leaned over during the film to tell my son. He said "Dad your a nerd". Lol

There is also a Commodore PET in some other scene as well, looks like a 2001 model to me

Looks like they're a customer of Electroprops - the rack the BBC is sitting on is here. They have a few PETs; one's appeared in Doctor Who a couple of times (Day of the Doctor and The Zygon Inversion).

Yeah I noticed that myself, would have been funny if they played Ghouls on it.

Having heard there was a Beeb visible in the new Ghostbusters film I had my eyes peeled for it.
When I finally saw it, I was thrilled and whispered to my partner “That’s a BBC Micro!” and she said “Yeah, I saw it two scenes ago!”
I really enjoyed the film. I can’t wait to find out more about the Singing Cheeses of Copenhagen!
