I remember this tune particularly well. Reminds me a lot of half-term holidays at the end of October, raining outside and being bored with nothing to do, other than to watch TV. The only thing on was this. Repeats of last weeks' school programmes from the week before. Bliss.
Has anybody got anything from the programme 'Leapfrog' that used to be on? There was a good one from 1981 on where they were counting coloured tiles to some music!
Thanks for posting this stuff - Theres so much of it on here now. Takes you back!
This version was an international recording at the time used by German Radio Stations initially. The performers are The Radio Orchestra Of Baden-Baden.
Another one of the catchy pieces of music that BBC1 used for their schools programmes. The music suggests that it came from 1977 as it could be that year. Hope this helps to anybody,
The music bing played during this interval is an arrangement of 'Let's Call The Whole Thing Off' by George Gershwin. Anyone have any ideas who performed this version and whether it is commercially available?
This version of the song is very emotive.
