Very interesting, thank you!

Just a quick query regarding something in the last para - was Maschwitz not Hood's assistant and adviser, rather than Baverstock's? That's certainly how it was reported when he was given the post in 1961, at least.

It's like that Bergerac opening everyone always bangs on about.

11th December 2001, if that ever helps you get hold of the episode at all. He's sitting at a table with Natalie, and irritably referring to his father bumping into Pat across the cafe.

Queen are a nice bunch of boys, it will all be fine...

It looks like a revival of an old logo, rather than a new one, I think?

Many thanks for the kind mention, John!

But did they have Kelvin Cline written on them...?

I did sort of wonder if one of them is Oliver!, which throws the whole thing wonky, but perhaps not.
