Boy oh boy... seeing BBC basic again after all those years is a
wonderful start to my Monday morning. It's how 9yo me learned to program
and I wouldn't be a developer if it were not for the BBC micro.

Not sure why they author puts the screen into MODE 0 at the start.
That'd just immediately take up 20k of RAM and make the output amazingly
difficult to read.

Here's hoping MicroPython and the BBC micro:bit have a similar legacy
for many others.
