I don't think that 'production' in the original message implied film. It 
is more likely to be a stage performance. At least the original enquirer 
had the wit to realise that bells in 1170 might not be Lucy tuned. 
Members of this list would be the first to wince if a play production 
used the BBC recording of Big Ben every time a bell sound is required.
