Default Potato blight test

I've just been listening to last Sunday's GQT.
One item mentioned a test for pototo/tomato plants with suspected
blight. There is a link on the GQT website, but when I click it it
brings up an error, "page not found".
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/gqt/
Is it my computer or their link?
Does it work for anyone else.

I think I've seen enough blight on my tomatoes over the last 7 years
and can recognise it but am curious to see what the link brings up.

Is it not better to anticipate it by signing up to:

You will get a warning about Smith periods, and an additional warning if
potato/tomato blight is prevalent in your area.

In that case you can take preventative action.
