If you can email me all the relevant details you have such as the year the
film was made and any details from the credits on the film itself (and
anything else you can come up with that might help), I can call the BBC
myself and try to find something out. Who knows, with my charming and
deferential British telephone manner, I might just possibly find something
out. Its worth a try. I live in BBC-town.
