It really is baffling how little attention has been paid to the British Library., even within the academic and research communities. More attention by far was paid to Trump's removal of the Librarian of Congress than a crippling cyberattack on our own National Library!

The first three series of City Lights are now on iPlayer, looks like series three hasn’t been repeated since 1988 according to the BBC website. It deserved a long life on VHS, DVD and iPlayer, sadly that wasn’t to be.

I seem to recall, years ago, reading about a plan to reforest Highland glens by carpet-bombing them with tree saplings pushed out the back ramp of a Herculese. They would have a very pointy root plugs that would act as a ground penetrator, the tree itself acting as a stabilising drogue
