Jim, That's wonderful! How long ago was that on the air? Do you agree that the bit about the new shovel is typical equipment freak? Maybe you could post a snipet of the script. Just to keep on topic - Michael Palin did a film documentary "Full Circle." The companion book and web site has excellent photos by Basil Pao. http://www.palinstravels.co.uk/photo-6-1 AZ Build a Lookaround! The Lookaround Book, 4th ed.
