Classic shows!
I've got a quicktime file of one of our software products on Tomorrows World back in the early 90's. It was just after The Mirror (think it was the mirror, something to do with news international I know) got busted by BSA/FAST for having illegal software. Being a newspaper they used Mac's so they deciced to use our software to keep themselves legitimate, TW picked up on the news story and got our software on the show to display how it could prevent piracy, or, as Kate Bellingham (think it was Kate, wasn't Judith Hann or Maggie Philbin called it (in the usual TW make-up-a-name game) Soft Lifting (have you ever heard it called that? software theft, yes, but soft lifting?)

This should get you a copy in quicktime .mov format.
Alas due to the BBC's policy of not advertising the name of our product or our company wasn't mentioned
However, as this isn't the BBC 
The product was called MacSupervisor and it was used by quite a few places.
Was a nifty bit of software actually and have to admit I quite liked using and supporting it.

Nice one, although I don't recognise that presenter. Can't beat a bit of Judith Hann.
Anyone remember The Adventure Game (1980) ?

TAG, hell yeah! Fantastic show. Gronda! Gronda! Gotta love drogna
The final episode was postponed due to it's original air-date being on 28th Jan 1986, the date of the Challenger shuttle explosion
