Shortly before the TV show aired, Melody Maker ran a lengthy article on / interview with Peter Hammill that talked about his then-current album pH7. It also covered other stuff, as journalist Karl Dallas reported:

Peter has bought a house in Wiltshire, his wife is pregnant with a child who'll be born on the anniversary of his move to the country, he's been playing with the local cricket team, and he's even written a song for BBC TV's 'Play Away' kids' show. Actually, when he confessed that, he immediately tried to swear me to secrecy, but I couldn't promise. Peter Hammill on 'Play Away' was too abrupt a change of image to leave unrecorded. Especially when, it emerges, he'll be dressed up as one of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table. [Hammill says], "A friend I was at university with works for Play Away and they decided in this new series [season] that they were going to have various songs from people like George Chisholm, Isla St Clair, and all this sort of area. But he'd always wanted to make a film about Tintagel, more or less about King Arthur, so he asked me if I'd write a song. There's a little bit about 'If you come to Tintagel now, there aren't really any knights, but there are lots of jolly people and the castle's very nice.' So you can see the sort of level that the song's pitched at. I just danced around Tintagel, miming in medieval drag. It'll be great if someone just happens to see it, and they say, 'It can't be? Is it?' But I don't want it publicized too much so people start tuning in specifically."
