Re: 
Are there no surviving copies of The Kilt is my Delight?  I've looked at
your link and can't see any.  I remember watching the programme and seeing
my Highland Dance teacher - Bobby Watson perform.  Great excitement when
television had only just arrived in NE Scotland!

The only BBC archive copy of The Kilt is My Delight is of one broadcast,
dated 19 June 1962, featuring Jimmy Shand and a set of youthful, elegant and
accomplished dancers who do the two handed quicktime turns with skip change
of step, not pas de basque. Moira Anderson sings.
