I watched it last night and it was really good.

Why in hell would he want to mention people like Stan Hugill? The guy was trying to identify (and get the viewers to identify) with the communities around the coast, not get expert about who collected what and where.

I thought it was well presented and the best program showcasing folk music I've seen for a while on TV (perhaps the best ever). Particularly good that Gareth Malone let the people do the talking and listened to them singing. He even seemed embarrassed when he was asked to conduct.
