Herb Alpert BBC Special

[Chris La Pilusa]

Hi All

A couple years back, BBC Four produced a biopic special on Herb Alpert. I have scoured the Internet in search of a copy, but to no avail. Does anyone here know where I might be able to locate the video? I read great reviews and I'd love to see it.

Thanks!

The BBC is apparently rather stingy when it comes to sharing their productions with the rest of the world, and unfortunately the Herb Alpert special is one of those that they're not interested in parting with. I thought at one time that someone had posted parts of it on YouTube but I suppose the BBC had it taken down. Keep searching. You never know where it might turn up. It's been speculated that BBC America might run it someday on US cable.

By the way - welcome to the Corner.

Thanks Harry, I appreciate it. I guess I was holding out hope that someone at the Corner would have a copy laying around from when it first aired, but I suppose I'll have to exercise my patience and hope it gets shown again.
