Cheers David, I missed the advert.

Yet to watch it myself, just caught your post, but it's on iPlayer for folk who missed it:

BBC iPlayer - Imagine: The Story of the Guitar: In the Beginning

Might try and watch it later tonight.

Don't know if iPlayer works for non-UK residents; I hope it does 'cause this global/regional barring gets on my nerves.

Thanks for that. Just watched it on the iplayer - What a brilliant programme!

Loved Wayne Henderson - 'How do you make a guitar? - Well, you take a good piece of wood and you just cut off anything that doesn't look like a guitar'. Brilliant!

I managed to record it to my hard drive and will put it onto DVD.
- very good documentary.

See if you can convert it into Murkin DVD format, Spud! We won't be able to see it... *sniff*

"Murkin" = "American" in Murkin speak
