I've just been watching the Hay-on-Wye edition on iPlayer, and what a fun programme it is! The silver caravan for the programme was parked up at the Castle during Hay Festival last year, so there are plenty of shots of the crowds of Festival goers thronging the streets and the Festival ground.
Diana looks fantastic in her Welsh costume and there was also an interview with King Richard - in 2014 and in 1964 when he was just starting out. What fascinated me about the 1960s film was how little the shops in Hay have changed! There was also a bit of footage from the 1970s, when Richard Booth declared independence (but I was rather distracted by a woman running down the Pavement behind the reporter - what was she up to?).
Also in the programme is the toll bridge on the other side of Clifford, celebrating its 240th anniversary, and the Hereford trow, which took part in the great flotilla of ships on the Thames in 2012 for the Queen.
The programme is available for the next month on iPlayer.
