Richard Nunweeks Missing Radio Show

[Bob Hinton]

Don't open the champagne just yet, but I have just got some information that there was a BBC radio show on the Royal connection broadcast in the first week of November 1970.

Could this be the broadcast Richard has been looking for?

Hello Bob,
I would say hold back with the champagne also, as a simple deduction would make it almost impossible for a programme aired on the first week of November 1970 to have been the one , unless of course it was repeated at a later date.
Reason being , I married on the 10th October that year, and upon arriving home from our honeymoon, went to live temporary with my in-laws and because of this, would have been unable to have listened to the broadcast sitting on my aunts settee, as I did not move into her house until 1971.
The programme I heard was not 'Royal related' it was entitled ' The man that saw jack', and was mostly to do with the alleged sighting by Hutchinson.
I would suggest that the programme may have been something to do with Stowells / Gulls/ syphilis patient/ alleged Duke of Clarence.
Still one can only hope.
Regards Richard.

Posysibly,

I understand this was a series over the week so one of the episodes might be the one you remember. Worth a check in the Radio Times surely?

What the hell has happened to the title?

Hello Bob,
During the early 1970s there was a series running entitled 'The other Victorians', which I did manage to come across when I visited Brighton University, and searched all those Radio times, although none of these would have been the one.
I seem to recall some publicity around that time, regarding Stowells findings, It was in the press for sure, and more then likely on radio.
But I can say for sure the first week in November is a No No.
Regards Richard.
