unlikely couple

Music licensing merger Concord, the music licensing company with rights to artists like Phil Collins, is merging with BMG which owns music by Tina Turner and Paul Simon. It'll turn BMG into "the world’s fourth-largest music company" according to the LA Times. I wonder what it'll mean for NOW's access to tracks? Its new CEO, who's from Concord, says: "It’s about using scale to strengthen independence. Together, we will build a company that gives artists more reach and more flexibility". https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/bmg-and-concord-combine-forces-to-strengthen-independence/094021

Watched the episodes yesterday on iplayer including the other existing three. I thought they were very good and one of the best Hartnell stores. it was nice to see more of Katarina, a pity she was killed off i think she would made a great companion. And good to see Nicholas Courtney as Bret Vyon. Of course sadly we didn't see Bret's death due to Episode 4 still being missing, Katarina's death exists though as a stand-alone clip. Kevin Stoney put in a good performance as Mavic Chen.
