Post by Rob Houghton »

Interesting item for sale on eBay - 16mm film of Five On A Secret Trail. I presume it's the 1970's version as its on 16mm film. Pity there aren't more details.

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Fascinating. The eBay seller says, "This is a 16mm film found while clearing my late uncle's flat." I wonder whether his/her uncle was involved with the programme.
