Help ID a TV prog?
Posted by cornishmanc on 26 October 2009 - 1:32pm.
I remember watching a short TV series which was basically someone's Super 8 film of a journey across the USA taken from car windows and train windows set to americana / folk-ish music. No dialogue or voice-over.
It was a simple and delightful programme and I wondered if anyone can ID it as I would rather like to get a DVD if it exists.
I think the footage was taken in the '70's (or if not the cine effect gave it that feel)
I think it was shown on telly in the early 90's possibly late 80's
I think it was on BBC2, possibly, maybe C4
I seem to recall it was shown later afternoon at the weekends
Dreadfully vague I know but my mind is not what it used to be.

Bingo
Great. Thanks
Who needs Google?
Some marvellous music on there
John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Penguin Cafe Orchestra etc. It's about time it was shown again (I'm sure it probably is being somewhere at this very moment)
Rights
Reading the website and elsewhere, it looks like the initial music rights have lapsed so it won't be shown again unless someone forks out a lot of dosh.
I think I will buy the DVD and rip it to my Mac and then replace the soundtrack with my own selection based on the original track listing. Might be a nice way to create a music video for my own use.
