I'm much the same with Leo McKern.

Easily done.

Just said the same thing to Shirley. As well as asking if The Name of the Game has the most choruses of any pop song.

One lousy foot, six months to live, poison gas… It’s the same with me.

“You eat one lousy foot.” Richard Mulligan is brilliant in it “Your father, your father is POISON GAS.”

The theme is a cracker, but literally as I write this Nyree Dawn Porter is bopping to the Top of the Pops version of Whole Lotta Love in a cage in a nightclub so there are other attractions.

I mean it might conceivably exist, but the companies are under no obligation to keep the historic material, and certainly not to allow anyone to access it, but it's hard not to be regretful about all the material that is either lost, or effectively lost.

When I was researching Hulke, I got in touch with The Agency which was formed from a number of companies including Harvey Unna's which represented Hulke. I got nowhere when inquiring about what had happened to Unna's archive of correspondence.

Similarly, I wince about what has happened to the archives held by writers' agents. So many agencies were taken over and consolidated into a small number of mega companies but it's not clear what happened to their archives.

Ha! The sign of a great album.
