Welcome to the website

Blu-Ray series 5 & 6 Now Available

The Spectrum Show is a Youtube show covering all aspects of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. The contents include reviews of real hardware owned by myself, try-outs of newer hardware, game reviews, new games, chat and more.

This site also hosts The Spectrum Show Magazine. A FREE publication that can be downloaded in PDF format. It features content from shows plus many other articles that are not shown in the videos.

Also on here you will find my own games (Amiga, PC and of course ZX Spectrum). All of which are free to download.

Although much of the content is  written and provided by myself, viewers and readers are encouraged to join in and provide material. If you want to help out, please get in touch.

If you want to help the show you can also visit my Patreon page.

**please see notes about Youtube on the About The Show page.
