It's not so disastrous as it looks. This is the agricultural burning season. The farmers set fire to their own fields to burn brush, crop stubble and pasture grasses. So a troubled country or not, this happens every year. Ahem... well, yes. However these fires often burn out of control and there is limited infrastructure there to cope sometimes. I've been in Africa during the fire seasons (albeit down south - not in West Africa) and it can lead to quite a cost in property. Incidently, this slash-and-burn technique in farming is blamed in spreading dessert areas. Centuries/millenia of this practice is cited as the reason Australia is largely dessert today... Your right, I'm not advocating it as a good idea, it's been sited as having a detrimental effect on people's health to. I'm just saying its not a sigh of continuing war

Yes, she probably would have, assuming of course that BPTV still had possession of those prints at the time of amalgamation. Obviously we've looked into the situation in Nigeria. One thing I think we can all agree on with Ian is that he is thorough. I asked him way back whether it was possible for anything else to have survived there and he was confident he'd exhausted all possibilities. I had no reason to disbelieve him. Just browsing this thread and this raises a wry smile now, with what we now know!

I guess phil is a business man. Money talks after all. Just a thought, as the bbc own the material, what is the legal stand on requesting it back from foreign stations? Can they say no and not return it.
Im sure this has been asked countless times before but im new.
