I also have an open invite to get in touch with Tony's assistant Ruth, should I be visiting London, to go one step further than Andy's current suggestion of recording an audio intro of Wikipedia bio article subjects, and capture a short video clip of Tony introducing himself.
Thank you, Brian.
My following comment is thinking out loud and in no way meant to sound ungrateful.
I must confess I have mixed feelings about use of video for this. While it is generally a richer media, a "talking head" adds little over a still image and audio. The files are larger and one of my aims with the project was to have something light and easily and cheaply downloadable.
What do others think?
On a positive note, BBC presenter Evan Davis (Today Programme; Dragon's Den) has just supplied a cracking voice recording which is now on his article:
