Mr. Perry's radio work with his students was highlighted in a "NOVA" television documentary, "The 
Schoolboys Who Cracked The Soviet Secret", which first aired in December 1989. The group continued 
to operate after Mr. Perry's retirement from teaching in 1984. Perry and his associates published 
numerous reports in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society and in US
government publications as well.

I am very interested in obtaining a copy of the 1989 NOVA program (it is not available from PBS).
