I've just been going through your old threads for the FOLK MUSIC series on BBC North in the 1970S called Ballad of the North West in which i was involved. It was produced by Douglas Boyd who is currently still about and a successful writer of historical novels and living in France. I wrote several scripts for this for programs, including all three series. I think the first program was THE WRECKERS that featuring THE PENINE FOLK, then TROUBlE & STRIFE for the OLDHAM TINKERS; THE GREAT LEAD RUSH for the Stockport based BULLOCK SMITHY A copy of that one might be still around but I understand the rest were wiped by the BBC back in the 1970s; I also wrote THE WAY OF THE WITCH, again for BULLCK SMITHY; the ALAbama INCIDENT for THE PENINES (?) AND THE PRIVATEER for a group in Buxton whose name can't recall...it must be my age!! Then of course there was THE PRVATEER, ALSO ONE OF MINE. BEST WISHES!
