Excellent choices fitz, I smiled to see the Blue Mermaid Goddess again - I believe she has quietly been taken in from the cold by some kind soul. Am sure she is being well taken care of though.
I shall look out for Richard Bradley's book, thanks for the tip.

Totally agree about Rhiannon - inspirational stuff; also a word for the prolific Paulus in the folk-lore category.

Best overall telly prog for me has got to be: Earth: the Power of the Planet.

Have a merry night - here's to 2008!
