Great Videoclip!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this.

@AidanLunn Ah, thank you. Coates? As in "The Dambusters"? I thought it sounded more like The Battle of Britain music. That was Ron Goodwin wasn't it? Stirring stuff in any case!
-
I remember this music so well! This was from a time when we only had Black and white, and when you got up and had to wait for tv to start! lol Brings back so many memories!

It's the Yorkshire Television March by Eric Coates, IIRC, stevie.

Marvellous stuff. I remember this so well. Did the tune have a name and does anyone know if it's available? (No, serously!) It really does hark back to a better, simpler, age. Did the composer also write the 5-note YTV ident or is it co-incidence that this tune keeps repeating the theme?

@spacefan1962 I believe it was called the Yorkshire Television March

Actually, the studios were opened by the erstwhile Duchess of Kent (now Kate Worsley) in July 1968. It was a moment of great pride for us, since we had had to suffer TV from Granada since ITV opened in the fifties.

this was actually used on Saturday mornings into the early 1970s .. it's a fantastic piece of music and used to prepare me for the Banana Splits, Robinson Crusoe, Zorro, The Whirlybirds etc etc etc etc ... Wonderful memories....why is the World so complicated and dull now..??
