Did you know that some of Priory School's sixth formers participated in a Channel 4 programme in 1983?

On Thursday 19 May 1983, straight after Countdown, I watched Channel 4's "Design Matters" programme at 6pm.

This half-hour documentary followed some of my Priory School's fellow 6th formers on a field trip addressing planning issues in a Somerset village.
I didn't participate, the only pupils I remember from this programme now were Ashton (then called Paul) Keiditsch, who did much of the voiceover and Claudia Thomas (now Lesage)

It was repeated at 2.35pm on Channel 4 on Monday 5 August 1985.
The TV Times for that week describes the programme as follows:
"Design matters: how can we cope with change.
A village changes as times change. Urban teenagers on a week's intensive course in a Somerset village are faced with a planner's problems, and finds that no "solution" suits everybody. With students of the Priory School, Portsmouth and the villagers of Stoke St. Gregory, Somerset. Programme consultant is Eileen Adams."

A few years ago, Eileen Adams wrote a book chapter about various arts education initiatives, including brief details of the school's field trip. The documentary was produced by Malachite Films.
Incidentally, the field trip actually took place in 1981.

There's a photograph numbered Figure 5.4 (missing on Google Books' online version) taken by her which shows students presenting their ideas to villagers.
I only have a hazy memory of the programme. At the time my family didn't own a video recorder. Neither did I see the repeat broadcast in 1985.
The only copy currently available to my knowledge is the original master copy held at the British Film Institute (BFI) Archive, no copy or excerpts exist on YouTube.
A search on COPAC (union catalogue of university libraries) also drew a blank.

Unless Priory School holds a copy, or someone else has access to another recording, I may be unable to see this documentary ever again.
