BBC Tetris Documentary
I first learned the true story of Tetris during an episode of G4’s Icons, which is a show I adore but haven’t had a chance to see in a while. In 2004, the BBC produced this hour long documentary on the origins of the game, complete with intrigue and backstabbing all done in an impeccably classy style. Ahhh, the British always make everything sound classy with their sexy accents…

They still run Icons on G4. It’s on Sundays at 11PM Eastern. The next episode is focused on Sacha Baron Cohen of Ali G and Borat fame. :-)
They also air “classic” Icons, only now it’s called GameMakers.
