On this topic did anyone else see the NHK broadcast a few months back
about a digital version of binaural recording that alters the phase
frequency response of the high end of close miked material to extend
the stereo sound stage vertically. The trick works by tweaking the
frequency phase relationship to match what the ear expects from a
wave incident at a given angle.

Not new, IIRC. I remember hearing a binaural recording of a man being
shaved and having a haircut. Could just about feel the comb on the
head.

What was new was that they could take close miked material and use
digital processing to move it around the binaural sound stage at will.

Right.

The old way involved microphones inside a headlike dummy with ears.

Seems to have gone out of fashion. R4 used to have the odd play recorded
dummy head - but not recently.
