I think I may have found the programme @sky-west.bsky.social that this was - as it mentions the Bee Gees!

It was a programme called Bon Anniversaire broadcast on 25 September 87. I've attached a link to the original page in French but translated it too

I remember our discussion on the other site about your slide - I've realised this is where your slide comes from .. same coloured background!

I posted these Bee Gees photos a few weeks ago but the mystery was - which show was it? I think I may have the answer ..

Whilst in Paris in Sept 87, they were on the Patrick Sabatier Show. This video ⬇️ shows another performer but the background matches these photos!🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊🎉
My Bee Gees calendar this year is actually a pre-made calendar from 2004!! The dates in 2026 match until the end of February when it differs as 2004 was a leap year .. but it doesn't matter to me because I'll just use it for the picture!!! 😅😆

Happy January! 🥳🥰

So @sky-west.bsky.social I think the camel photos mystery is solved ..

The Lamplight newsletter says that Robin was interviewed by Louis Bakens (general editor of Lamplight) at the ‘Automuseum’ in Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands on Friday 20 May 1983. He's with Robin in the camel photo too!
