Yes. Already posted in the thread 'Remarkable videos recently posted on YT'

Another interesting video. I watched Steve Furber saying he didn't remember in response to some of the questions and then thinking that even a fedw weeks are enough with some projects to forget what you were thinking, let alone 35 years.

Also, six years from his first computer to the ARM. That's a pretty quick pace!

Let's be honest : these people at Acorn were geniuses.

Perhaps scarily so.

I have seen videos where Steve Furber talks about a prototype machine for the BBC Micro, with 2MHz memory allowing memory access between a 1MHz 6502 and 1MHz video system to be interleaved. Great to see such an important machine preserved for posterity, I am looking forward now to seeing it for real at the CCH.
