Yes, the autumn/ winter events, and good revival dance sides, and English ceilidh music & dance . . . there could be a whole series, they've only just scratched the surface. Let's hope the BBC get good feedback reaction to this weekend's ones, the clog one tonight too. The fact that they were scheduled up against what I gather are quite popular bigtime mainstream dross programmes may have helped as there must surely be plenty of people looking for "anything but . . . " and likely to be of a more open minded and questing nature. And then they could build more mini-seasons around re-showing things like the 50th Sidmouth film, the Copper Family story, the Watersons 'Travelling For A Living". Good on BBC4 - time for some positive congratulations in their direction I think, I imagine it never does any harm.
