Madhouse on Castle Street is a British television play, broadcast by BBC Television on the evening of 13 January 1963, as part of the Sunday Night Play strand. It was written by Evan Jones and directed by Philip Saville. The production featured the young American folk music singer Bob Dylan, who soon became a major musical star.
The play was made with electronic video cameras, although recorded onto film rather than tape. The only known copy of the play was junked in 1968, as was the standard practice of the time, despite the fact that Dylan and lead actor David Warner were by then famous. Although extensive searches have been made by the BBC, only partial audio recordings of four songs sung by Dylan survive.
Plot
The play is set in an English boarding house. One of the lodgers locks himself in his room, leaving a note stating that he has decided to retire from the world until the world has changed. Other lodgers and his sister try to coax him out and establish what the problem is. The action is punctuated by songs performed by Bob Dylan.

A long tale regarding a short event , via multiple weather reports and many scenes of the 60’s
IN January 1963, an unknown young Bob Dylan got some work in a (now lost) BBC play The Madhouse on Castle Street. He sings The Ballad of the Gliding Swan. The Sunday night play also features Dylan’s first televised performance of Blowin’ in the Wind.
He was paid a fee of 500 guineas to play the role of Bobby.
* While in London, Dylan stayed with Martin Carthy, who helped introduce him to the burgeoning folk club circuit and who remembers chopping up a piano for firewood to counter the effects of that long cold winter.

Bob Dylan In the Madhouse - Blowin' In The Wind
Bob Dylan’s TV Singing Debut of 'Blowin'In The Wind' - Audio clip from Broadcast by BBC-TV in the play 'Madhouse On Castle Street', London, 13 January 1963. Bob was 21 (having never left America before), when he visited London for the first time in December 1962, to take part in a BBC play. He appeared as "Bobby the hobo" and sang four songs, including the first ever broadcast of Blowin' in the Wind. The BBC wiped the play in 1968 and it's since become the Holy Grail of missing Dylan archive. Well, this lossy file here is not the hit. It's more the weird story behind it.

Ballad Of The Gliding Swan - Bob Dylan
-1962/63 Field Recording-
Recorded: 12/20/1962 & 1/04/63
BBC TV Studios, London, England
One of the most intriguing series of recordings from Bob's early years. He performed five songs for a BBC television play called "The Madhouse On Castle Street", however (criminally in my opinion) the original tapes were erased a few years after it aired. To this day the quality of the recordings we do have still isn't great.

A long tale regarding a short event , via multiple weather reports and many scenes of the 60’s
IN January 1963, an unknown young Bob Dylan got some work in a (now lost) BBC play The Madhouse on Castle Street. He sings The Ballad of the Gliding Swan. The Sunday night play also features Dylan’s first televised performance of Blowin’ in the Wind.
He was paid a fee of 500 guineas to play the role of Bobby.
* While in London, Dylan stayed with Martin Carthy, who helped introduce him to the burgeoning folk club circuit and who remembers chopping up a piano for firewood to counter the effects of that long cold winter. Dylan became a regular figure on the folk scene and even found the time to cut an LP in a record shop on Charing Cross Road, under the pseudonym of Blind Boy Grunt.
Dylan’s stay also resulted in a burst of original songs (Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright, Bob Dylan’s Dream) which were heavily influenced by his exposure to traditional English folk music.
In 1968, the BBC threw the tape away. If you have a copy, let us know.

Although extensive searches have been made by the BBC, only partial audio recordings of four songs sung by Dylan survive.
Plot
The play is set in an English boarding house. One of the lodgers locks himself in his room, leaving a note stating that he has decided to retire from the world until the world has changed. Other lodgers and his sister try to coax him out and establish what the problem is. The action is punctuated by songs performed by Bob Dylan.
