I don't recall that show. Are you thinking of the British Film Forever! episode on crime and gangster films?
Looking for"British Film Noir History" 90minute programme shown on BBC2 earlier this year.

Not British but I thought this the most appropriate place to post that over Christmas BBC2 is running a late night Film Noir series of 9 examples of this black and white study in drama, photographic technique and dialogue style, including the introduction, so set the recorders for those US gems you have missed-- no adverts either, can't be bad.

Think this was another Matthew Sweet production - not the British Films Forever one - and it was on BBC4 a couple of times together with the usual BBC collection of film noirs (Build My Gallows High,The Big Combo - both of which are on again over the next week or so. Surely they must have more films than that ?).
As for the documentary, afraid I didn't record it (which doesn't help you), but couldn't even watch it all the way through - the usual problem I have with MSweet.
The Matthew Sweet RULES OF FILM NOIR is on again tonight, or rather tomorrow morning, on BBC at 12.55am.
