Have just caught up with Desert Island Discs w/Macfarlane. Love the reference to J Flynn. FYI Detectorists is well worth playing on catch up, (all on Beeb iPlayer); still wishing the FS would publish Deakin ahead of Macfarlane.

Flynn was also in the recent movie 'The Dig' about the discovery of Sutton Hoo, which is also worth a watch.

>2 jeremyjm: I have seen the film though I didn't make the connection until your post. I did think the fictional Flynn/James storyline could have been left out, but I enjoyed the film immensely, particularly Mulligan's and Fiennes's performances.
