Arthur only appeared on the earliest BBC Archimedes

Still got the ROMs in the attic :-) The Archimedes is there too, and worked last year when I was trying to recover some data from some old floppies, though some of the keyboard keys didn't work and the CMOS won't hold its settings even with new batteries. The Archimedes itself (an A310 with 4MB RAM and a 120MB(IIRC) HDD) is running RO3.1

The rumour I heard about Arthur 2 was that while the original Dudley Moore film was passable, the sequel was awful and Acorn didn't want to associate themselves with it in any way. Still got the RO2 ROMs in the attic too.

Or it could simply be that "Risc OS" sounds a lot more professional than "Arthur".
