If it was, what was that little foray into manufacturing all about?

No it was Acorn that made them, the same company that was responsible for the Electron (virtually a BBC Micro, just slightly different spec) and the Acorn Archimedes (I think that was the first for home use RISC-based computer). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Computers#BBC_Micro_and_the_Electron for more info.

It was a company called Acorn that made them for the BBC, the whole idea was to have a computer that people and schools could buy that was the same as the one being used in TV Programmes about computers for children. Quite a clever marketing idea, advertise your own branded computer on a TV station that doesn't strictly advertise, worked quite well too, the machine had quite a decent following for a while - mines in a box in the garage.
