Years ago, there was a documentary (Panorama or somesuch) about a man who couldn't remember anything from a few minutes previously and had to keep writing things down, taking photos etc. But, somehow, he never forgot how to play music, and the pieces. Does anyone know which programme this was on?

I remember watching that! It was a BBC programme called Equinox. There is a Wiki article on the subject of the programme, Clive Wearing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Wearing
