Hello there Andrew,
Yes, that sounds about right.
It was repeated several times over a period of about 12 months or so
and advertised as being either QUAD or MATRIX-H and eventually HJ
in Radio Times.
I also believe some of the BBC TV "Sight and Sound In Concert"
televised rock concerts may have been transmitted in Matrix-H
as well via BBC Radio 1, the idea being you turned your TV sound
down to zero and listened on your stereo/Matrix-H equipped Hi-Fi
whilst watching the performance.

Most likely this broadcast Alan; I wonder if Transcription Services still
have the tape!?
Note the reference to the 'Quadraphon' :-)

I too have experienced BBC Matrix H broadcasts.
One broadcast I recall was a play based upon Alice in Wonderland entitled
"Alice's Adventures In Wonderland".
I can remember listening to this play on BBC Radio 3/4 several times, great
stuff.
All the very best,
Alan
