Subject: Richard Thompson on BBC TV (Mon 12th)
Headsup for all Richard Thompson completists!
Being a bit of an insomniniac, I have just stumbled across a half hour interview with Mr Thompson. (0430!)
It appeared on the BBCs NEWS channel, as an edition of their programme Hard Talk. (normally a one-on-one i/view with a political slant).
It was a pleasant surprise to find Mr T there!.
Obviously not an in depth trawl through Richards life, but, an interesting vignette, nonetheless. (The idea of the Incredible String Band on X Factor, sort of appealed!).
Listings for BBC NEWS are notoriously absent, but looking at previous days editions, I'm guessing that it might be repeated at 2330 UK time, tonight Monday 12th Jan.(but don't hold me too it!). Just the thing with your late night cup of Horlicks!. He plays a bit too..

Probably not available for US Viewers, Blame the Beeb.
It's worth a look anyway. (He also talks about Morris dancing in a positive way!)

Have a good day each and everyone
