Thank you. I shall definitely investigate

Fantastic Roger - thanks for the heads up. I’ve just read the book and still working through the CD box and was really hoping I could find a link to at least the most recent Mike Dibb film. I remember BBC4 showing it around 2010 (2012 per listing) but don’t recall any repeats.

Didn’t Dibb also do some film of the Rendell/Carr Quintet in live performance (Camberley?)

Yes, he did the RCQ film which includes Dave Green's wedding. Sadly this film isn't in the Mike Dibb season. Still, the BT ones are fantastic.
