Eric Coates, an unsung master of British humour and above all humility. One of our finest!

I first heard this as a kid when it wa intro for "In Town Tonight", a BBC programme always begun with the words "STOP -once again we stop the mighty roar of London traffic..."

So you always had a picture of busy traffic (us provincials always imagine Picadilly Circus which featured in films), and a copper stopping the traffic. I don't know whether Coates imagined such use, but it affects what I expect to hear now.

Nice version, but it misses the drive it really needs. This one is too neat. Coates was probably the greatest composer of so-called 'light' music. He's becoming popular again, because people recognize the pure quality of his writing.

The Supersizers Go....(episode11, part1/6) the intro music isn't Coates' work is it?

@whisperhog So let's rectify that by simply calling him "Sir Eric.', which is simple justice too late.Who can stop us? I was unfamiliar with Sir Eric's work before I heard a snatch of this and got mush of his other stuffon Youtube; just like years ago I was unfamiliar with Sir Arnold Bax until that film Ken Russell did about him.

OMFG I thought I was the only one - no offense to the German musicians - a wonderful performance but I thought they were too heavy on such a delicate tune.
