Dear Dr. Weiss,

I believe I do have the appropriate contact at BBC.  Her name is Polly
Eckles,
and her email address is [log in to unmask]  I am not sure what her
exact title is at BBC, but I obtained permission to use (and bought a copy
of) the BBC docu-drama episode, "Alas Poor Horrocks," as part of our public
event surrounding last June's Transit of Venus.  I just emailed her asking
if she would be the correct contact for your purposes, and she indicated
that she is.  

Cheers,
