Judging from the number of people who asked to be told what the solution was lots of you are planning a similar exciting deadline experience, so here's what I've got. PhotoRescue from DataRescue is the winner. It salvaged the vast majority of images easily; why it failed on a couple I've no idea. At $29 it's a bargain and a life-saver, so if you don't already have it you know what to do. Lexar's image rescue software works ok on their cards, but fails totally on others, or at least did on my sick Kingston card: the programme simply crashed repeatedly.
Here's a cut out and keep list of data rescue sources various people sent:

And if none of those work I recommend a bottle of bourbon, some brightly coloured pills and a revolver...
