Part 1 of the short film made in 1964. A few years ago I briefly owned a book sent by Betjeman to Billa Harrod signed 'from your Diss Lover John B, Whitsun 1964'. I'd like to think JB bought the book at the newsagent featured in this clip (now a Holland & Barrett!) and sent it to Billa at her home in Holt, Norfolk.
Why did B do these docs?

Quite wonderful - JB, in the County of Norfolk which he loved (and if I'm not mistaken, in the middle section, the Swingle Singers performing Bach's Prelude number 9 from Book 2 of his 48 and more Bach later on!).
Thank you for posting this.
