OK here's the final version ... lowering samples in subsurface globals 
shaved 4.5 hrs off the render time.

Lovely.

Forgot to ask: Excellent flame media; I seem to remember this to be in 
the Scenes folder but I don't see it there. Is this Trevor Quayle's code 
perhaps?

Yes it is ... with some modifications. Removed projected_through as it 
was causing an unwanted shadow. I also removed the sphere that contained 
the media that produced a yellow halo effect, and played around with the 
area_light size because I wanted more "fuzzy" edges on the shadows that 
were close to the light source ... I had to go to my backups to get it, 
because I've not used it in a while, but the original code can be found 
here:

Currently listening to Hein Braat singing the "Aakhan Jor" mantra - the 
image fits nicely.

Thanks indeed Jim. I must already have the original code in my POV-Ray 
Treasure Chest :-) I shall dig it out and play a bit with it.
