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).
