Ah, Stanhopes. Thankyou. Someone somewhere probably now owns those 6 tourist shots of Dawlish- but possibly has no idea they even exist.

I see that Wiki quotes the Dictionary of Photography (1858) as describing microphotography as 'somewhat trifling and childish'. What a blinkered view for relatively enlightened times- perhaps there was some jealousy involved..and perhaps the conceit of wordsmiths and dictionary makers in BBC Blackadder III was the result of good research..

I suspect a clone or two of Repair Shop will soon appear, probably inferior. Format change to a group of specialists on tour complete with kit, in a couple of converted double-decker buses Cliff Richard style.
