I love 'Capital City' and regularly re-watch the DVDs. The Archimedes appears so prevalently on the Shane Longman dealing floor (and in the traders’ homes), that it's practically a character in its own right! There's a great scene in one of the episodes where a central character, Sirkka, is 'on strike', and is playing a flight simulator game on her Archimedes (it looks a bit like MiG -29 Fulcrum). Over her shoulder appears Peter Longman, the company founder, visiting unexpectedly from his island in the Caribbean. Suffice to say the MiG crashes...!
