I have visited a web page "Starring the computer" where they archive all kind of computers seen in movies and TV.

their web page is http://www.starringthecomputer.com/

According to them, Oric-1 was seen in one movie "Micro Man" in 2009

Ah yes, Micro men is a brilliant programme about the rise/fall of Sinclair and Acorn and I remember seeing the Oric-1 on there :)

I haven't watched the IT crowd series but when I do I will be on the look out for the Atmos :)

IT crowd is quite funny one . I didn't watch all the series but its quite good.

I've found the episode where Atmos is seen. Its season 3 episode named "Are We Not Men?"

Atmos is seen couple of times after 1:19 behind neck collar guy "Moss"

The IT Crowd is available to view on Channel 4 On Demand:

As I mentioned in this thread a couple of weeks ago:
http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopi ... =23&t=1026
there's a documentary about the series, 'The IT Crowd Manual', where the Oric is highlighted on the set by the series creator.
This show is also available on C4OD now:
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the- ... manual/4od

Its a great series with some real classic lines.
