The army will ask the British Broadcasting Corporation to allow the broadcasting of an edited version of a documentary about Their Majesties the King and Queen which it aired 32 years ago, army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha said.
Once granted permission, the army plans to edit the three-hour documentary titled Soul of a Nation, filmed by the BBC between 1978 and 1979, and broadcast in 1980, down to 20 minutes, according to an army source.
Gen Prayuth said the part taken from the BBC would be featured in a documentary being produced by the army.
The edited portion contains interviews given by Their Majesties to the BBC filming crew who followed the King and Queen on their visits upcountry to inspect development projects.
