All good info. Still looking to see if the audio recordings piece was more than two minutes long on the actual Click Program

Grubhead you are very probaly right about this great Forum but overall folks , just don't assume anything re the BBC [and I'm a long term supporter]. I went to a talk near Ramsbottom, given by a chap who volunteered at the National Sound Archive [Skipton Castle Branch] in the 1980's. I asked him why they were preserving Falklands War material when the Beeb would obviously have it already? He looked at me and said "You think so?"
