Anecdotal: Back in 1987, after BBC Scotland was raided over Campbell's [0] "Communications Zircon" [1] episode of the Secret Society series [2], and it being "banned" from broadcast, I attended a semi-secret viewing of that particular episode organised by Richard Kinsey of Edinburgh University. I vaguely remember Duncan being present at the viewing, but it's such a long time ago my memory may have faded.
It was one of the most fascinating nights out I've had ever with the venue being populated not just by students and civil liberties folks, but also by Special Branch who were identified and pointed out by our hosts that evening.
After the viewing I asked Mr Kinsey for a copy of the programme and it turned up at my parents house in a jiffy bag under the guise of "Disney: Mickey Mouse" on VHS format, it's in a box somewhere.
As a fairly active member of Scottish CND, Scotland out of NATO and various other passive lefty groups of the day I kinda miss the cold war protest game. It's a shame we don't hear more from DC these days, but then that's to be expected now that the BBC's journalistic integrity has been compromised by a knackered London SW1 control centre.
