Unfortunately, it's only available until 3am UK time on Sunday Feb 14th (but I'm going to try to download it). "Lucy Neal goes in search of a home for the valuable archive of her once renowned great great aunt, Mary Neal, suffragette, social-worker, colleague and later adversary of Cecil Sharp during the great English Folk Dance revival at the start of the twentieth century. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0084ldp |
