Yes I agree with many things said but found some of the material quite illuminating.

I couldn't understand the policy of singing only from your own local tradition, but when viewed against the adoption of American culture instead of the indiginous British Tradition I can see why McColl imposed the rule he did.

I don't think it should be interpretted too literally though!

David Attenborough's recollections about "She moved through the fair" and the film clips were interesting.

I had always assumed this was a traditional song, but perhaps it has been absorbed into the tradition.

There was some Copper family material, but admittedly not much!

I look forward to the repeat broadcast so that I & others can view it again.
