It's an interesting question. I dunno off the top of my head, but my guess would be no, since any real computers in the mid-1970s would seemingly have been too expensive. We know they did ultimately use real computers by The Five Doctors — at that point, the Acorn/BBC Micros.

I'll have a look round to see what Andrew Pixley says and report back.
