Looks like Paul Broadhurst can and has gone back to it , if being a bit slow about it . .His new book is about the Greenwich meridian and the belief that because the meridian happens to go through an ancient site it must be related or dated to it . “Over a five year journey of discovery the authors ….have found that more than 50 ancient sites are in alignment with the line .The age of these sites shows that it is of great antiquity , overthrowing the established view that the Meridian was first set out in the 17th century “

You couldn't make it up .
Five years ? Five hours surely .

You should be able to bounce your german Internet connection of a friendly VPN service which will base your IP address firmly in the UK. Then you can watch all you like.

I see STV still hasn't dug out the Arran (part 2 and 3 films) which Tom made. Pity.
He wrote his first book about climbing in Scotland while he was a POW in Germany. As well as books about mountaineering at home and abroad, Tom also wrote a fine tome on the Lochs of Scotland and a few volumes of autobiography. He signed a few of his books for me. Whadda guy.
