Lucinda Lambton - an appeal

[Moo]

I'm trying with, so far, absolutely no success to find a copy of Lucinda Lambton's TV programme The Great North Road. The bit I'm after is the episode where she visits Brodsworth Hall and chats away to Sylvia Grant Dalton.
I've tried UTube and Google but have drawn a complete blank, so I'm posting this in the hope that someone here either has a tape/CD/DVD that I could copy or, failing that, any suggestions as to where else I might look.

Can you contact her?

I bet Biff has a copy.

Yes, Biff is the A1 specialist. Why don't you PM him?

Or, if they were BBC programmes, try contacting the Beeb direct. Their information office has been very helpful on the few occasions that I've called on them.

 

[Penners]

Hmmm - I just had a poke about on their website, and I'm not sure how helpful this will be: http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/

If it doesn't get you what you want, you might be best to phone them. You might even get to speak to a real live person.

Excellent idea. I'll ask the Beeb and report back, in case anyone else wants a copy of any of her programmes.

If they don't sell copies of the programmes, they jolly well ought to.

Edit: we must have cross-posted, Penners. I shall try 'phoning them tomorrow morning.

No I haven't got it. Sorry.

 

[judrop]

Me again, Phil had a look on Lucindas web page, and someone else had asked if the progs were available on DVD , and sadly it was a no, so unless someone has recorded the prog direct for themselves sees this post and lets you have a copy, the outlook is bleak Sorry Ju XX

Thanks so much, judrop.
It really is odd, isn't it, that a commercial organisation like the BBC (which until recently had a whole shop here in Norwich selling their books, videos and assorted spin-offs) is so pathetic when it comes to marketing some of their most popular programmes.
I've no idea what the viewing figures were for the Lambton programmes, but I'd be surprised if they weren't pretty impressive.

I agree, she is absolutely wonderful. It would be great if these programmes were available; I didn't see them the first time round.
