Many thanks, Andi, for adding the link to stream this file. However, there is problem. When I click on your streaming link file in Windows Media Player, the file begins to stream, but most of the screen appears as plain green and only small blocks of the picture are visible in a very distorted way. I had exactly the same problem with the dialup version of my previous video on the ANL carnival. The broadband ANL files played OK.

I am puzzled by this because when I stream the dialup file from an asx file on my PC desktop, it streams perfectly.

Apologies. It turns out that the person I interviewed was not David Rogerson. I phoned the fire station today to try and find out the name of the person interviewed, but obviously there was some confusion.

After one or two technical hiccups, this video can now be streamed. You have choice:

Either

1) download the whole file to your desktop and then play it in Windows Media Player. To do this, click on the link at the top of this page.

Or:

2) you can "stream" the files. That is, view the video while it is downloading: you don't have to wait until the file is completely downloaded to your PC before viewing the file. Unfortunately the vidoe streaming link on this page is not working properly. The best web-page to stream the files is the Indymedia video projects page:
