Excellent listen if you're into collecting and into film and media preservation!

A lovely wee chat about film collectors and preserving history. It does tip into Doctor Who news, but that's only a minor point of it, much more about volunteers preserving stuff, which is nice.

A fascinating insight into the cataloguing and preservation of UK film collections, some of which are at very real risk of being lost forever without the hard work and dedication of people like Film Are Fabulous. Recommended listening.
