Dylan in the Madhouse

The story of the search for a remarkable piece of Bob Dylan archive. Remarkably, Dylan first visited Britain to take part in a BBC play. Enfant terrible TV director Philip Saville felt that he would be perfect for a high profile BBC drama Madhouse on Castle Street. Dylan sang four songs in the play, including his first ever broadcast of Blowin' in the Wind. Sadly, the BBC wiped the play in 1968.
