Bill, a wizard and a true star! Thanks so much for all of this. Re the  Peel clips: the Ray Stevens was from 1968, and I think SOTTC included it because it is now available....errr...on something called the John Peel Wiki!!! maybe (There's something else I'm sure they got from YouTube, but I can't remember right now)....Are the BBC sourcing us for material?
