Important

I have now linked a number of clips which have been resident on this site for a few months to Google Video and, of late to You Tube. They can be played in the usual way by clicking the picture, so I have not marked them separately. They should be viewed at 'original size' by clicking on the arrow or box at the right of the frame in which they are played on these sites. For Google these can be downloaded using the following instructions:

I need to investigate downloading on You Tube..

Warning:  The files are of substantial size and will take a considerable time to  download for non-broadband users.
