I found it very interesting to hear from those like Reg, Peter Kennedy, Karl Dallas, etc who have seen this folk thing evolve over the last 50+ years and who understand the various drivers behind it. I thought the programme was excellent in drawing together all the threads that are behind what we do today and why. The follow-up was good and I especially enjoyed the Coppers and Harry Cox - how brave of the BBC to actually play a whole song by a source singer! I enjoyed the beatnik bit too as context setting (changing world, challenging old values etc) but thought it went on a bit and could have done with another song. Hopefully a lot of people will have seen the prog and thought "I didn't realise that - that's interesting - how can I find out more?"

It will be interesting to see whether the programmes have any impact on the great British public and the media.
