Assorted notes: the claim that Ramsey wouldn't vote for a Scot isn't really substantiated. It was more the format ("voice" at the BBC 50 years ago was not likely to favour non-RP accents) and Coleman's clumsy, waffly chairing. Near the end he interrupts the voting to have a chat with the judges, for no good reason. Ramsey had the tie-breaker but cast it before knowing the final totals.
I did not recognize Stewart or Adamson at all, or Canning at first. Whereas Harrison sounded like he always did. (I think Tony Book knew exactly who St John was).
It's a great find, anyway.
