I

I just updated all the links for "paul merton in china." I'd have done it sooner, if I'd known they were dead.
Can I suggest that folks email the "keeper" as soon as they find a dead link---and don't just complain to Dean. I don't read the list every day, but do usually check my email. (But in this case, the notice email was languishing in my spam folder for some reason....)

I'll now look and see what else I can bring back to life....
