Remembrance Sunday on TV

When I was at CH, I remember one of our Remembrance Sunday services being broadcast on TV - I think it would have been in 1989 or 1990, and probably shown on the BBC. Leonard Cheshire was the "guest speaker", and he talked for far longer than he was supposed to; I thought it was all quite interesting, but the camera crew were making frantic hand gestures at the other end of the chapel, trying to get him to stop. (This was a live broadcast, so if he went on too long then it would mess up the rest of their schedule.)

Does anyone have a copy of this program, eg on DVD? I don't want to get the forum in trouble for breach of copyright, but I assume that this program is unlikely to be repeated (or sold in retail outlets).

It is on You Tube in about 6 parts, just search for "christs hospital remembrance service" . It states that it was recorded in 1988.

I have it on VHS, but might be able to transfer to DVD, if required
