Rediffusion documentary find

[Ray Langstone (was saintsray)]

I have found a programme called 'Look in on London, from 20/06/1956. This is NOT in the BFI archive (the proper archive for most A-R work), like many Rediffusion shows, but in The London Metropolitan Archives.

The episode is called 'Tramps: Looking in on London', and is on 16mm with sound. This was not found on a searchable database before, and seems to have only appeared this year.

I am very pleased with this one as it is an early A-R find, and also my first ARCHIVE find for a while, as other things have taken priority. Small steps.

Excellent news. It may be an idea for you to let Dick Fiddy at the BFI know, if you haven't already. A copy could be made to add to the Associated Rediffusion Archive. Nineteen fifties television programmes are always of great interest.

Yours,

Thank you Andy. I will.

I know Dick reads this Forum occasionally, but as luck would have it, I am likely to see him next week!!!!
