Re:victor lewis-smith's forthcoming BBC4 programme - 2005/10/16 09:07
The situation with the VL-S documentary tribute programme is that Associated-Rediffusion is contracted to deliver it on 25 November to BBC 4, where it will receive its first showing, presumably in the New Year. Obviously it is hoped that the clamour from you guys and others will get it repeated pretty soon afterwards on BBC 2. As well as covering the Edinburgh Jakefest, camera crews have been to Swaledale, Leeds and Monmouth and there are by now roughly 25 hours of interviews and other background in the can. Just how Victor intends to reduce all this to its essence to produce a 1-hour show - given that presumably at least 50% of the show will be archive footage of Jake himself (of which some totally new stuff, including at least one previously unheard song, has emerged), only he knows. But at least everything is progressing apace; and as soon as a transmission date is fixed, rest assured we'll all be among the first to know!
Greetings all!
