This featured Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger at a folk cub in Stratford in 1971. It was a Grenada TV production!! www.peggyseeger.com/about/press/peggy-seeger-long-cv"A KIND OF EXILE (1971 Granada TV 60-minute documentary)" But this is not listed in www.tvbrain.info/ - for Lost Shows Typically it is probably not even known about - being 'folk'. Does it exist, and if so where please? |

“A Kind of Exile: Peggy Seeger” still exists and is listed on ITN Source. It was directed and produced by John Goldschmidt for ATV and was broadcast across most of the ITV network, including Thames and Granada. It turns out that “A Kind of Exile” was a 3-part series which profiled a different person each week. Episode 1 was about the South African cricketer Basil D’Oliveira and Episode 3 was a profile of Sir Oswald Mosley.
By the way, Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl appeared in one of Granada’s earliest music programmes – “The Ramblers”. This was a 5-part series broadcast in the Granada region only in June and July 1956. The Ramblers were a folk/skiffle group that featured MacColl, Peggy Seeger, Alan Lomax, Shirley Collins and others. The series is completely missing. However, some of the scripts can be viewed on the Library of Congress website.

Thank you - especially for details we did not know. It is a likelyhood that both have survived in private collections.

Anyone know if the Radio Ballad Films are still extant? They were The Fighter, Fishing the Herrin', and The Hewer (we think).

Philip Donnellan’s Radio Ballad films still exist and can be viewed on YouTube. They are “Shoals of Herrings” (1972), “The Fight Game” (1973) and “The Big Hewer” (1974).
