Can anyone shed any light on the programme (link above) listed in the BBC archive site? I think we can say for sure that it's been wiped, but anyone know what it is? The date is right smack bang in the middle of Fairport recording L&L...

Simon Nicol/Swarb perhaps?

I asked Simon, he has no recollection of this.

Another lost performance, I fear, Jamie - assuming it went ahead as scheduled. :(

The idea of 'Late Night Line Up' - of which this was presumably a strand, same production team - was that it went out live last thing before closedown and was potentially open-ended (eg. an interesting discussion would be allowed to run on). Unthinkable nowadays.

I asked DM if he had any recollection. He said he's not sure what his movements were last week, let alone 45 years ago, but he wishes us well in the search.
