Info/datas on BBC archive site.
In short, "Commercial Breaks" was a series of TV docs about companies with less usual business activities (at least in 1980s context).
In this documentary, titled "The Battle for Santa's Software", filmmakers, a little by accident, wera able to show from the inside collapse of the Imagine Software game developer - because of that, this period document became somewhat famous on retrogaming scene and is known also abroad of the UK.


8-bit era at its best - ZX Spectrum, Atari 800XL and C64:

Any idea what is the computer behind Atari (and 2nd tape player) on the 2nd pic? Dragon?

The "related to cars" thing was a case of recent, newer docs, by what I remember and of course it is also not a video about cooking, they had sports cars and bikes there.
