I agree Anton, it was excellent - the music that is - I thought the plot (if 
that's what you call it) was RS, but the photography was good - sharp as two 
tacks. Unfortunately 9.30 a.m. was a bit early for sitting in front of the 
TV, so  I set the timer to record it, As is usual with commercial TV it 
started late, so I missed the last ten minutes or so - but I was 
particularly delighted with the Dukes and the Temperance Seven.

Best wishes
