cheers for that paintdry

I downloaded the full file which ended up at 37mb and was sad to find that it's done at the lowest possible screensize - these teachers at teachers.tv need some learning about encoding!

That was a touching, honest programme, the exact opposite of the shallow crap you get from the likes of Cameron. I particularly liked his defence of comprehensive education, the last part of which reminded me of Muhammed Ali's comment that without boxing "I could have just been a sign painter in Louisville."

Sorry to go off on a tangent...

Such humility from so mighty a giant. They broke the mold with him...

Thanks Luke .. but surprised direct link is better quality.

On screen, I think it is same file .. but using WMP to play.

Thanks again paintdry, that was good.
