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.
There’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 know where there’s a reliable file sharing copy available. Email me if you like.
@servetus – May I have information as to how to get the all the parts of this documentary also? I too, have searched and cannot find it. I want so much to listen to it. If you could email the info to me, that would be so wonderful. Thank You.
@servetus – How do I email you?
@servetus – On the off-chance that you are still receiving updates on this topic. I would really like to listen to the full version of the program as well. Could you send or post the link to the full recording please?
Thank you so much in advance!
@servetus – @maggie – Thanks, guys! I was able to locate a copy.
I love Guy Garvey/Elbow, and this song of course. I’d love to check this program out some time. Thanks for letting me know about its existence!
Well now I want to listen to this! Mind sharing where you found it?
where did you locate the copy ?
@servetus – @servetus – please can you send me the link so the available copy ?
Hi, could you kindly direct me to the correct link or send me the file?
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
I’m having the same trouble! Would you mind send me the link or the way where I can find it? Best!

@servetus – Dear @servetus, Can you tell me how I can find a copy of “The Fourth, The Fifth, The Minor Fall?
Thanks!
