Acqui Londres   
 
 
 Acqui Londres produced in two language editions( Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese) and was the Latin American edition of London Line. As with other editions of London Line these programs were presented by using presenters from Latin America. Sometimes the stories were the same as those in London Line but where possible items of specific interest with links to Latin America were  produced for Acqui Londres. 
 
From the outset the style and the content of Acqui Londres was quickly accepted by television stations across the continent. 
 
Lilian Davidson who created and produced Aqui Londres was a very remarkable person. How she came to Film Division is not clear. She had been brought up in Uruguay but had also lived in other Latin American countries and spoke Spanish as a second language.  She had experience of working in Latin American television but also a great deal of experience in the entertainment and public relations field. She had, for instance, carried out public relations work for Marlene Dietrich. While she was not always an easy person to work with, she had an instinctive knowledge of what would constitute attractive television programs in a Latin American context. 
 
This experience ensured a wide acceptance of the programs in Latin American countries from Mexico to Uruguay. She still had many connections with Latin America and with that community in London, both of which provided material for program items.  
 
The connections she had with the music scene in the UK enabled all the editions of London Line to benefit from the inclusion of up and coming bands such as the Pink Floyd and Gerry and the Pacemakers that helped to guarantee transmissions by television stations in many countries. 
 
As with the other programs in the London Line group each weekly program consisted of 3 to 4 items 
 
There is no record of the series in the National Archives and the only surviving record of this series in the National Film Archive is: 
 
1967: Acqui Londres 145 the lead story is about the Latin America Centre in the University of Essex who offered specific courses for  students from Latin America who wished to study in the UK. 
 
The absence of of any other records of this series is very regrettable since it achieved considerable success in South America.  It ran from about 1965 until 1969 when it was discontinued with the other London Line programs. 
 
The programs were produced for about four years which implies that some 200 issues were made. However a record of only one program exists. It is not clear why this should be.
