I don't think that's the right show -- this is on a 16mm film print, and I doubt that there would be such a thing from the late '80s... I'm going to try to get more info...

The only "The Ritz" I know of is the 80's comedy-drama. Is it possible that it's an episode title, with the series title lopped off the front of the print ?

I'm going to try to find out more about it - and I may just buy the print out of sheer curiosity.....

I found out that this is a BBC documentary on the Ritz Hotel in London. Is this likely to be missing? I have no interest in this film, but if the BBC needs it, I'll get it.....

Oh!
Never mind then, - sounds like a "Forty Minutes" to me, sounds like the kind of subject they'd have done back in the day.

BBC2 did a "a day in the life" type documentary series
late 60s/early 70s about London subjects. Among those covered were "Hyde Park" and "London Zoo" . 50 minutes long i think.
Long shot... it may have come from this series?

There is a 1976 film called THE RITZ - starring Treat Williams, with Peter Butterworth popping up in it too. Set in an American gay-bath house.........
