I cannot access #12. It is asking me to "sign-in". ?

Rats! Apologies, will look into it. Anyone else have the problem ?

Out of interest, can you access this one: Who is this?

2. Terpsichorean.

Indeed, ScarletDragon!

oldbroad - could you give it a go now?

Rog, I was getting that sign-in message too. Just tried it and now I am getting a musical snippet to listen to.

Thanks, Marian - that was William Shatner, so I'm a bit dubious about the "musical" bit...

Anyhow, I think #12 is fixed - should be a spoken voice
