Pieces of this have been floating around for years, I'm glad the entire thing has finally been found.

I first got this back in the late 90s, I think, on a CD-R. Some years later, it turned up on Youtube (I'm guessing around 10-15 years ago). So it's been out there for a while, but always worth pointing out to those who haven't seen it.

There's also a BBC TV documentary, called (I think) THE RISK BUSINESS, that was all about TESB, which was broadcast in May, 1980.

I've not been able to find this.

You mean this, uploaded to Youtube twice?

The second one's the better quality one.

That is incorrect. Follow the history of this doc on Originaltrilogy.com. You must be confusing it with another one OR the bits and pieces that have come out over the years.

That's right. I was confusing it with the BBC documentary about John Williams, with a lot of EMPIRE behind-the-scenes footage. My bad. Here's the one I was thinking about:
