I'm directing a play based on this (rather old) script for television by Tom Stoppard. Help me find it on film.

I'm an undergrad theatre student in the US. The teleplay is called "A Separate Peace," having no relation to the book of the same name. It's about a man that checks himself into a nursing home to live, though there is nothing wrong with him. I know that the script was aired as one-half of one episode of an old BBC 2 series called "Double Image" in 1966. I know Peter Jeffrey and Hannah Gordon were in it. The other half of the program was a documentary about chess. It has an IMDB entry. But I want to actually see the program. Is there any way I can do this? I've exhausted Google, Youtube, as well as the BBC's websites and am wondering if there is some archive of old TV that I don't know about. Is there any way I can find this?

Maybe contact one of the reference librarians at the Museum of TV and Radio to see if they have it in their archives?
