To all those who have requested an offline version of the site, there are plenty of free apps that will download a complete copy of the site for you to browse offline within a few seconds (depending on your connection speed).

I'm on a Mac and use a program called SiteSucker, although there are plenty of similar alternatives for other platforms. I was able to get a copy of all 918 HTML pages and the 80 images on Dean's site within a few seconds. It even generated a log file listing the dead links that exist on some of the pages. The entire site zips up at just 10Mb without images or 17Mb with images.

There are also several "copies" of Dean's site available in internet archives such as reocities, oocities and the Wayback Machine so it will always exist online in one form or another.

What I'd like to see is a hard copy of all the facts and figures that can be referred to when necessary. Whether it could include all the transcripts, though, is another matter, as they would take up a few thousand pages by themselves!

Maybe a book similar to "The Clue Bible" (telling the story of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue"), written by Jem Roberts, that includes lots of excerpts from the shows and tells the complete story from conception to the present day (or at least to 2009 when it was published).

I'm sure a JAM Bible would be just as popular and is something I'd like to see in readiness for the 50th anniversary celebrations in 2017.
