Indeed, I have, and twice, courtesy of the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation (taxpayer-funded non-commercial free-to-air).  The
fairground organ snippet was just about that: a snippet.  Regardless,
Goodall is a joy to watch as a presenter; he seems to know what he's
talking about and has a good dose of English humour to leaven the
process.  He's traced the development of written music ("Howard
Goodall's Big Bangs") and arranged the "Lord is my Shepherd" theme for
the English comedy "The Vicar of Dibley".  No doubt he's done lots more
interesting stuff but that'll do for a start.
