The track is called Factors.
It appears on this compilation, first released in 1968 and re-released several times since.

And yes, it was the original broadcast... *sobs* Very wooden acting, but the "action scene" at 21:30 is worth a giggle - it proper put the willies up me when I was a nipper!

The comment about the "this is not the ham you are looking for" was referring to Spotify ham, not the lovely ham posted here. I can now see how it could have been misconstrued.

"In English, many past and present participles of verbs can be used as adjectives. Some of these examples may show the adjective use."
Quote from the Cambridge Dictionary on "confronting" dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/confronting Once again, you tiresomely attempt to correct my grammar only to discover my knowledge of English and its correct usage is far greater than yours. I'm not sure where you were educated but I'd apply for a refund if I were you. Still, if you keep persisting in the face of such consistent failure you're bound to eventually strike on something that doesn't humiliate you. Unless... you're not really here for the hunting

Boring (bɔːrɪŋ) Adjective, (from the verb 'to bore') Someone boring is so dull and uninteresting that they make people tired and impatient.
