This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

If it's the one that was on the BBC last year, the inspiration
comes from Peake's paintings and his time in China. His daughter
was quoted as saying it all looked just right.

If you do set the video, don't lose the tape.
