Output attachments not attached to post that match a custom field

    With my current code I can run a condition to check if a custom field is not empty then echo out an image.
    Otherwise check the media library and match another variable which is a custom field, if it matches use that image from the media library but if not I want to echo out a generic image.
    The problem with my code is if I have 10, 20, 30 images in my media library it will loop through with the foreach and output as many images even if there isn’t a match I get nontvimg.jpg as many times as there are images in the library, but I only want one. Is there a better way of doing this than my current code?

    <?php
            if ($imgurlbase != '' ) { ?>

            <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $imgurlbase . $imgfromtv; ?>&h=62&w=75" alt="<?php echo $programme; ?>">

			<?php } elseif ($imgurlbase == '' ) { ?>

                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php
                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'attachment',
                    'numberposts' => -1,
                    'post_title' => $programme
                    );
                $attachments = get_posts( $args );

                    foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {

                        if ($attachment->post_title == $programme) {
                                echo wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID);
                            }
						elseif ($attachment->post_title != $programme) {
							echo '/images/nontvimg.jpg';
						}	

                    }
                ?>&h=62&w=75">

			<?php } ?>

    Try coding it like this:

    $attachments = get_posts( $args );

$found = 0;
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
   if ($attachment->post_title == $programme) {
      echo wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID);
      ++$found;
   }
}
if (!$found) {
   echo '/images/nontvimg.jpg';
}
