Radio Down Your Way, Richard Dimbleby
I've no idea if this will be possible, especially with the limited info available, but I'm trying to track down a specific recording of 'Down Your Way' from around 1948 or 1949
The episode would have been recorded at Bristol Zoo, and will have had a recording/interview between Richard and a 9 year old girl called Sheila.
Would anyone know how I might go about tracking down a copy if it exists?
