Anthony, two of my colleagues, Robert Murphy and Steve Chibnall have done
some work on 'the spiv' if that is helpful to your contact. I don't think
however either of them were the mystery researcher....

Subject: [BBC-HISTORY] image of the spiv
this is a request for the old hands i think. some time ago someone was
researching at WAC, for a PhD I am told, on the subject of the image of
the spiv in popular culture, walker in dad's army. no one at the archive
can remember the name of the researcher and I haven't been able to find
any publications. would anyone have an idea who it might have been? anthony
