Agreed. I'm glad someone rescued it from that black hole BBC radio programs disappear to. 
On a totally different Fortean subject, youtube also has the full version of
The Legend Of Boggy Creek

| Boggy Creek was one of the first films I ever got on DVD! (Was it so long ago?) Terrified me when I was a kid, and is still pretty spooky now, if very cheesy. |

Yeah, I remember Boggy Creek being on TV too  Think BBC2 broadcast it early one evening... don't think the adult programmers realised how scary it was! |

I have the sequel somewhere on DVD. Regarded as a classic turkey - I see it is also available complete on Youtube:
Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
Damned if I can remember much about it but at least I've forgotten nothing worth knowing, if that makes sense.  |

I saw the same broadcast, I remember my sister and I watching it at our gran's house and trying not to admit how freaked out by the film we were getting. It was part of one of those sci-fi seasons BBC2 used to broadcast, seemingly on a loop (Invaders from Mars was always included).
Weird coincidence, I've just been recommended this podcast episode about The Legend of Boggy Creek:
http://projection-booth.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/episode-65-legend-of-boggy-creek.html
Mostly an interview with the author of an extensive Bigfoot in the movies guidebook, but he gets into the background behind the BC film. For a very long time, set aside an evening to listen to it if you're so inclined! The Bill Clinton conspiracy sounds... interesting. |

Cheers, listening to it now...
Pity his Bigfoot Filmography book is so expensive! |

| Yeah, he has a website but most of the good stuff seems to be in the book. |
