Default Dario Argento's Giallo (TV show - 1987)

In James Gracey's book on Argento he mentions a tv show called Giallo that Argento hosted in 1987 after he did Terror at the Opera. The show featured interviews with people in the film industry, fans of giallo films, discussion panels and Argento revealing the secrets of special effects from his films.

The show also featured a three-minute short films Argento would write and direct as well as a series of 20 minute short films directed by Luigi Cozzi and Lamberto Bava which apparently would star Argento regulars like Daria Nicolodi and Asia Argento (although at this point the latter had yet to star in an Argento film). Apparently audience members would try and guess the identity of the killer in these short films.

My question is has anyone ever seen this? It was only broadcast in Italy and I had never heard of it before reading the book. Do copies exist anywhere, either in an official release or in some sort of bootlegged form? It sounds pretty intriguing and information on it seems hard to come by, especially online when Googling yields results either for his first foray into tv Door into Darkness or the Brody Giallo film.
