Really, the BBC should be proud of how well their music documentaries are made and have the sense to put them on DVD boxsets. I'd certainly buy them. It would make more sense then just pulling everything down off here all the time. Anyway, thanks. This episode literally run out on my iPlayer just now.

@Samalamalamdam lol - no, donovan doesn't look old! i meant donovan described america as being such a young country - only 300 or 400 years old! (there's prob sadly a lot of americans who don't know how old our country is) i guess looking 400 when you're only 200 makes 'old' relative!!!

@LadieBug357 What are you talking about? Most 65-year-olds don't look that young.
