Two years later, an Israeli television film crew came to London and filmed an interview about my role in creating their country’s most successful international pop star. They had just filmed a similar interview with John Peel at his home, during which he impressed them by producing the handwritten letter that had accompanied the Ofra records I had initially sent him from Israel seventeen years earlier. The interviewer asked me if I had made a fortune from ‘discovering’ Ofra Haza for the international market. All I had received was one cheque for £200 from the UK record company in 1988 to reimburse my expenses for Ofra's first London promotional visit."
In the TV documentary, Peel is featured not at his home, but in one of the BBC Radio One's studios and makes an appearance between 6:45 and 7:08 of the video describing the letter he got from Grant Goddard about the records and how he enjoyed the 'Galbi' track.
