Well thanks for telling us about something we won't be able to see Martin  !

(only a half hour programme .... doesn't seem very long ...)

ONJ was born in England wasn't she?

I presume her father's family must come from Wales.

Realise you won't see but many people must have relatives who can stick on a DVD and with luck it could get shown one day by one of your TV networks.

I am just hoping that I will be able to watch here in Scotland on the Web.

Let us know if it's any good

Olivia Newton John, or as we used to say at school, Bolivian Neutron Bomb, is occaisionally seen at our local supermarket (her Gaia health retreat is near us) and indeed she once came into our furniture store....

But she didn't buy anything!

This from Wikipedia:

Newton-John was born in Cambridge, England. Her parents were Brinley Newton-John and Irene Born (b. 25 May 1914). Irene was the eldest child of Max Born, a Lutheran German Nobel prize-winning physicist,[1] who had fled from Germany with his wife in the 1930s in order to avoid persecution due to his and his wife's part Jewish heritage. Olivia's father, the Cardiff-born son of a publican, was an MI5 officer attached to the Enigma machine project at Bletchley Park, and the officer who took Rudolf Hess into custody when he parachuted into Scotland in May 1941. After World War II, he became a professor of German at the UNSW annex at Tighes Hill in Newcastle, Australia.

Interesting family background, that!

Ooohh, that does sound interesting ... can a half hour programme do it justice I wonder?

[deeiluka]

It is hard to imagine it doing so, isn't it? Would love to see it though.

Had an email today to say that my WDYTYA DVD is on its way!
