Images by W Eugene Smith have really set me a challenge of finding my way to getting a method of achieving the best from B & W conversion. Seriously impressed by the printing.
I cannot record these programmes as I do not have the technology so I will watch the repeat.

Agree with Don on this. Programme 2 was a bit of a let down from the first week. Last nights was far more attention grabbing for me. Particularly impressed by Tony Voccaro's tales of developing film on a moonless night in a series of tin helmets. It was a real shame that the films in question were destryed by the military censor, they would no doubt have been valuable historical records now, though it is difficult to judge the standards and values of one period of history against another.
