Over the past couple of weeks Susan and I have been tracking down the participants of various programmes held in our repository in order to gain adequate permission from these individuals to continue using their materials for educational use. We have been mostly using the Internet Movie Database to help us find contact details for anyone from Richard Dreyfuss to Robbie Williams. We have had numerous replies so far from key figures in the public eye including Stephen Fry and the first chef to bring three Michelin stars to London, Michel Roux. Not only is the Spoken Word ensuring that we are clearing rights legally but we are also in the process of collecting quite a selection of celebrity autographs!
