It was wonderful Toggy, one of my favourite pieces.
As Alan Titch would say ' those of you of an age' would remember it as the theme to 'This Week', the long running current affairs TV programme.

I should have asked which show Sibelius will be covering on Radio 2. Never mind, it will make a good change from Richard Allinson anyway. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Gary Davies once played part of the same piece on Radio 1 as part of a spot where they played short classical pieces. I recognised some of it as also being the source of the theme music for the Kevin Turvey (Rik Mayall) spot on A Kick Up The Eighties!
He also featured the classical piece (I forget which) that was adapted as the theme tune to Harry Enfield's Television Programme! _________________ We made a land where crap is king and the good don't last for long.

I didn't realise calssic FM had such high listening figures. Very interesting that more young people like classical music now too. |

If they brought Henry Kelly back on weekdays they would probably gain another million. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

3 million is pretty good though considering he has to compete with Wogan & Moyles. |

Another beautiful track this morning.
A classical piece after every PFT would be good, not that I'm greedy or anything |
