Thank you Michael. GiP is v3.17 on Windows 10. See my reply to James - response to using --versions=original on the recent "Horace" edition (pid=m00014jt) is: INFO: No versions of this programme were selected (available versions: podcast) This has only started happening in the past couple of weeks - I wonder if for these new ones the original is suppressed even though earlier programmes might well be available in both formats.
