Okay, Voodoo Gang! Are you still hungry for some more Hitchcock? Well, here's the dessert course. It's short, but sweet.
There's a version of this up at Archive.org (https://archive.org/details/robynhitchcock1984-09-01 ) and it's FAR WORSE than my copy. That one is jam-packed with hiss, you'll find my copy far more delicious.
My cassette had this listed as "Saturday Club." I try to check everything before I post. Misinformation accretes to circulating shows like barnacles to a boat on the way to the ice wall that surrounds the flat Earth. Never forget: just because it's written down doesn't make it true, and if it's on the Internet...check it twice.
"Saturday Club" ran from 1957 to 1969. Both my copy and the Archives copy identify it as Saturday Club, but as that show ended in 1969, that can't be right. In the notes to the Archives.org version, a comment identifies this as "Saturday Live" and the host is Andy Batten-Foster. Can anyone confirm that this was really Mr. Batten-Foster?
The Archives version dates the show as the 1st, while my cassette says the 15th. Both days are Saturday. The Hitchcock Gigography has BBC shows listed on both days, with no set list for the 1st and a set list matching mine on the 15th.
It's possible the show was recorded on the 1st and broadcast on the 15th, but that's a guess, not a fact...so I'm posting this with both dates.
