Most likely this broadcast Alan; I wonder if Transcription Services still have 
the tape!?
Note the reference to the 'Quadraphon'   :-)

I too have experienced BBC Matrix H broadcasts.

One broadcast I recall was a play based upon Alice in Wonderland entitled 
"Alice's Adventures In Wonderland".

I can remember listening to this play on BBC Radio 3/4 several times, great 
stuff.

All the very best,
Alan
