This is a total long shot, but I thought I’d put it out there. Does anyone have a recording of a BBC Radio 2 program that was broadcast in 2008 called “The Fourth, The Fifth, The Minor Fall” by Guy Garvey? The official BBC Radio 2 page is here but says the program is not available. You might have already figured it out from the title, but the program is about the Leonard Cohen song “Hallelujah,” examining why it’s so popular and timeless and covered by so many artists.
I found a clip called Part 1 on YouTube but none of the other parts are online. There’s also a 12-minute clip on YouTube featuring the Allison Crowe segment, but that’s it. I also looked at a few, um, underground resources, and none of them had a full version either.
If anyone reading this has a copy, I’d love to listen to it. I’m also happy to pay BBC Radio 2 for a copy if they’d make it available. Thanks!
ETA: Thanks, everyone! I was able to locate a copy.

October 14, 2012 at 9:11 amThere’s a forum called MVgroup.org that exists just to archive and seed torrents for documentaries, about 90% of which are from the BBC. Pretty much legit, not pirate-y, no commercial products available. I’ve gotten lots of great video docs from them but never tried for radio. You do have to join their site to search, but it might be worth it for a deep dig.

I have been looking for this online and basically found the same links you did- stopped at part 1 of 7 on youtube and heard the allison crowe interview…
Hoping to get a lead/response from you! xx
