I have just received an email from Radio 7, sent in response to an inquiry, that two plays by Peter Tegel have been preserved in the BBC archives.
"The Well of Life" dealing with the Nazi "Lebensborn" programme, and its tragic effects on some of the hapless children unfortunate enough to have been involved with it, was first broadcast on 8/9/1986 (The Monday Play).
"Kate of Heilbronn" - Heinrich Von Kleist's classic (1807) romantic drama, translated and adapted for radio by Peter Tegel, was the first ever production in English of this celebrated German work.
It must have been originally transmitted in 1986 (or earlier) as Nigel Stock, who played one of the principal characters, sadly died in that same year. The play was fortunately repeated on 9/7/91 by Radio 3 (when I first heard it and made a recording).
There is a possibility that both of these superb productions may be re-broadcast by Radio 7, but no specific details could be given.
