Two TV-related questions

Hello all,

Here are two rather random questions that I'm hoping someone out 
there can answer off the top of their head.

1) Does anyone know where I could find out more about a 50s-60s NHK 
program entitled "Koko ni kane wa naru"? I've seen one episode, and 
it's obviously an adaptation of Ralph Edwards' "This is Your Life." 
Airing dates, and any other information, would be gratefully accepted.

2) I was very struck by the surliness of a Miyazaki Hayao I saw in a 
documentary a few months ago on Japanese TV, in which he attended a 
screening of _Geddo senki_. He leaves mid-screening, obviously upset, 
and when asked to comment on the film, directed by his son, can only 
reply (angrily and puffing madly on a cigarette) that his son has not 
yet grown up. I caught the program midstream, and unfortunately don't 
even remember what channel it was on. Does anyone know what it was 
called/where I can find it?

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

Best,
Melek
