Thanks Richard, we covered a lot of ground between us! Filming in 35C heat was a struggle but I enjoyed being unofficial photographer

Did anyone mention so far this year we have had 3.4% more hours of sunshine ? Over 45 hours more, so no surprise its hot. Summer 1976 was hotter until the data was manipulated.
