  • Amazing! The melody is easier to follow on this version than the full-on version. Did you learn to play it by ear or did you have the dots?

  • Hi deltango66 - I worked it out by ear.

  • Incredible! Glad you uploaded this fantastic rendition here. Thanks

  • Thank you for your comment. Of all of the TV tunes I have recorded I still find this the one I am most pleased with because it has a warmth and gentleness to it.

  • Wow that sent shivers up my spine. Since Moving to Australia : ( I have not heard this theme for 30 + years. I am glad I heard it this way Fan tastic !!!

  • Hi Franquay - glad you liked this and thanks for favoriting it.

  • The TW theme played here is by the late John Dankworth, don't know the title though. 

  • The boys got talent

  • whilst i appreciate the purist ouvre i have to say the guy appears not to entirely lack the chops sufficient to treat us to a little improvisation on the lovely TW theme. i wonder what stopped him.. did the spirit of jazz die with the human soul already ;?

  • Hey what a player!

  • Thank you for this - i don't know why the BBC messed around with it - the original was brilliant

  • I much prefer this intro cos this is the one I grew up listening to..

    This original version has a touch of 'cool' and has listenabilty, it holds the interest til the 'end-of-the-story'. The melody (like Gene Rodenberry's original Star Trek theme) rises upward, giving an impression of 'reaching out', of progressiveness and modernity, anticipation. It represents 'the future' so well.

    You do a very nice job of playing this. Well-done.

    Fucking great tune, man!
