Thanks for the tip, Clive 
BBC4 has some great stuff these days - I've no idea why they don't promote it more on 1 and 2.

Oh, to be in the UK.
I'd wish they would put it on dvd. Have looked for it for a few years.
(Well, they did - http://www.bbcactive.com/BroadCastLearning/asp/catalogue/productdetail.asp?productcode=21554 - but £500? No! And I still havent "learned" to use the 
torrent sites.)
