Jim: I think that there are several reasons why the BBC coverage was so extensive: The Scots and the Brits have a more developed sense of history; Scotland is a small country; Sunday is a very slow news day in Scotland. BBC New York tried to get a crew up to Greenwich to cover this side but they were pulled at the last minute for another story. The reporter, BBC’s Huw Williams, liked the history in the story a great deal, and promised even more extensive coverage at the 100th anniversary.
