Last of the progs tonight - bit of a lacklustre series I thought; maybe the book will be better ;-)

The following was posted by David Mitchell on the Stones Mailing List today and may be of interest -

Sorry about the short notice, but Ray Mears, Gordon Hillman (UCL) and Tony Leeds (KCL) are giving a talk on the above subject on Fri 2nd Feb at the Franklin-Wilkins Building, Waterloo Campus, King's College London. The event will take place at 5:30pm (tea from 5pm) in Room B5, which some of you will remember was used for Julian Cope's talk some time ago. The presentation will include a description of the practical work in preparation for the BBC2 programme. I've been told that people outside King's may attend, and please book in advance by emailing [email protected]

For directions see www.kcl.ac.uk/about/campuses/waterloo.html see www.multimap.com and type se19nn in the "GB postcode" box. The entrance to FWB (big glass doors) is just above the "S" in Stamford Street. Room B5 is about 30 metres from the entrance.

See you there!

David

It suffered a little bit from a lack of surprise - no Earth-shattering discoveries, just a lot of educated guesswork and supposition - all worthy in my mind, but not gripping television. Last week's 21st Century meal was a little disappointing, as it took over half the program.

Still, it's a serious minority subject that actually made it onto the box, so we should thank Ray and the team for making it.

Well done Ray - the last prog was what I was waiting for! I'd be happy living on edible mushrooms, crayfish and berry jellies, but that wild boar, spit-roasted and coated in honey, was the clincher ;-)
