The documentary was called "The Rise and Fall of Imagine Software" and showed on TV for all UK residents about 1984. A fantastic bit of history showing a 'behind the scenes' of software houses Ocean and Imagine between 1983 and 1984. Following text from http://home.iprimus.com.au/danmcpharlin/purpleowl/psygnosis-history.html In early 1984 the Imagine team were working on a spectacular project known as Bandersnatch. The game was to come in an A4 sized box containing around 30 'goodies' including a required additional piece of hardware for your Spectrum computer. The retail price of Bandersnatch was expected to be around £40 and it was to be a completely new concept in computer games. Apparently 10 professional artists were working on the graphics alone. Bandersnatch was never released. On the 9th of July 1984, Imagine went bust after only 18 months of operation. Interestingly, its demise was documented by a BBC television program.
