BBC BASIC is a version of the BASIC programming language. It is notable for being one of the few modern dialects that makes no attempt to be compatible to any degree with Microsoft BASICs.

BBC BASIC was originally written for a small line of home computers sold by Acorn Computers under the direction of the British Broadcasting Company (thus the name), but now runs on most modern, popular operating systems (and several older and/or less-popular ones).

Wikipedia has an article about BBC BASIC, but the best source of information is probably the BBC BASIC homepage.
