  • I heard this last week for the first time on Radio 3 of all places!

  • @freddietheca I think the truth is somewhere inbetween; the theme to the radio version of Hancock's Half Hour was written by Wally Stott (later Angela Morley), who was a good friend of Robert Farnon, so I assume the HHH theme was a little homage to this piece (the repetitive tri-tone certainly is almost certainly inspired by Jumping Bean).

    She also wrote "A Canadian in Mayfair", which is a homage to Farnon's "Portrait of a Flirt" (Farnon was Canadian).

  • Didn't freddietheca mean H-H-Hancock's Half Hour?! But I don't recall it as the theme to anything. It was certainly requested on radio a lot. Most likely to have been used in comedy movies few times.

  • Dad says it's the theme to 'Top Of The Form' - a school quiz show.

  • No. I realise mow that it was not 'the men from the ministry'

  • Was it the theme tune for the Men from the Ministry ?

  • @RonRizzy Well, Ron, it could well be. It definately wasn't the theme fro Hancock's Half Hour.

  • @freddietheca Sorry, no it wasn't!

  • @leeanneoneill What was?

  • Great stuff and OH BOY does Farnon look like Peter Hain.
