For all 'Weekend World' fanatics who wondered where the theme tune came from. Brian Waldron was a political analyzer and commentator of the first water and could lecture ad lib a sno other on any historical/political subject.

@zennygreen Sneaky 'Yes' reference :)
Yea, the Nantucket Sleigh-ride was riding in the harpoon boats.
When I was a kid (too young for News programmes) I turned Weekend World on during a Sunday, listened to the theme tune, then turned it off again :)
