    bbc was a tad biased in their view..

    fred harris and his various jumpers pretty much ruled that era of shows, I guess .

    I saw Chris Searle who used to be on them shows at VCF maybe winston / RWAP etc saw em also.

    Oh, that's a shame. He reminds me of a simpler time. I remember him on a photograph in recent years with the original Acorn team reunited. I can't locate the picture though:(
