Is this a new show or just a repeat of the one broadcast not that long ago?

BBC Radio 4 website says it is a re-edited version of an old show, but with extra footage not in the original!

Saturday 10 May 20:00

The Archive Hour
Across The Divide

Two gentle giants of folk music, both in their late 80s, British born Bob Copper and American protest singer, Pete Seeger come together and ruminate on the similarities and the differences in their lives.

Folk music and family are fundamental to them both, though their cultural backgrounds are very different. We hear them in conversation in a specially extended version of an earlier programme recorded in New York and in performance, and talk to their families about the tradition of folk music that both men have promoted and which their children and grandchildren are handing on to future generations.

Quack!

The original programme last year only lasted 30 minutes, so hopefully there might be a bit more music in this broadcast.

But apparently it was wonderful to listen to - so Geoff tells me - and very moving at times.

Just a quick BLICKY - BBC Radio 4 Website.
The show should be webcast live on Saturday. The show is - THE ARCHIVE HOUR 8.00pm UK Time (3pm Mudcat Time) Saturday 10 May 2003.
They appear to have the previous weeks programme online, but I don't know if the archive permanently, or if you just have a week to listen before it gets wiped.

Quack!
