It's on YouTube, thanks to Timothy Fail, who has donated quite a few 2002 episodes to Thomas Wood. So, I thought why not upload themCharlie Reams wrote:Nice. Where did you get this?

Good work James.
Quite a few of the Youtube uploads (but not all) have been linked from Countdownwiki, which seems very sensible. Should I be volunteering to help with this?
There are a few episodes on Youtube put there by people other that Thomas Wood, notably this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh1itxk4 ... re=related
It would be good to have them all catalogued.

I definitely think it needs doing as a matter of urgency.

Re: Wednesday 25th September 2002 (Ser. 48, Prelim 48)
It's not really my idea.
I've just had a look at the Wiki, and there seem to be two separate initiatives, involving Thomas Wood and Martin Gardner:
http://wiki.apterous.org/YouTube_contents
http://wiki.apterous.org/Category:Episodes_on_YouTube
So leaping in to help might cause confusion rather than clarify things.
