We're way behind on our PVR having gone completely Paralympics-crazy, and so only got around to watching this last night.

Enjoyed it a lot, Emily Buckle is a class act isn't she.

I know that the minutiae of historical accuracy always goes out the window on things like this in favour of dramatic framing, and I hasten to add it didn't spoil the programme for me at all: but how realistic was it that they'd all have been singing and playing into mics and a PA down at the local Northumberland folk club in 1968?

And, for that matter, how well known was that particular tune/words version of Matty Groves likely to have been in 1968, the year before Fairport immortalised it on Leige and Lief?
