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!
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?

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.
