David Allen featured in the series 'Computing Britain', which was broadcast on Radio 4 in September 2015, and repeated earlier this year. I have an email address for the producer of this series which might be a way for you to contact David Allen. If you think this might help, please email me. I also have an off-air recording of the programme that featured David Allan.

Thank you, Jean. I've been trying to reach David for a while, so fingers crossed.
Thanks also to colleagues who got in touch off list.
Best wishes,
