Tom - 

Whilst I do not represent the Brtish Library or BBC I would opine that they both might like a copy for their own archives esp. if it was commissioned by the BBC &/or aired by them.#

The person to contact is one:

Dr Janet Topp Fargion

P.S. Janet might not be aware of this mailing list. Maybe she could join it?
