Well how did the two youtube videos come about? Were they pirated and if so maybe they could be persuaded to do it again with the lacemaking bits. :-) How do we contact the perpetrators?
Seems you can post anything on the Internet these days even if it seems treasonable, re: wikileaks.

I just loved the Victorian House, and Edwardian House shows, and the Regency one where all the young people were supposed to pair up, despite being constantly chaperoned. The one set during WWII was a blast, what with the father building a bomb shelter, and the mother and grandmother having to give up smoking because cigarettes were rationed, and also being made to learn to cook. The most endearing moment was when the little boy described how his mum had made a blancmange and how incredibly tasty it was. I don't believe he had ever had a home cooked meal before. However, I can tell that probably only 50% of these ever come to a region even as well served as mine which has numerous PBS stations, and also BBC America. I would never, ever, condone copyright infringement, even when an entire continent is denied the opportunity to see Pat Perryman instructing a would be Edwardian lacemaker. Heck, if we can't make a good historical recreation show which includes lacemaking on this side of the Atlantic, we don't deserve one. And if our public stations decide that Edwardian Farm may be a little too rarefied for an American audience, that is a decision I am prepared to live with. But, speaking theoretically, and purely from a technical standpoint, I would think that if there was some black-hearted fiend so devoid of a moral compass that they could live with themselves after doing such a thing, they could set up a camera that takes moving pictures on a tripod in front of the TV or computer and switch it on when the lacemaking begins. Any malefactor who would commit such an offense would probably be cagey enough to practice first on a less interesting show, just to make sure the settings on the camera were right. This illegal and universally condemned practice is called "Bootleg" on this side of the pond, and practiced only by the dregs of humanity.
