@ajs41 Probably because exams were a lot harder in those days

Thanks for posting this nostalgic clip. I've been a great fan of Horizon over the years, though I think it has dumbed down a lot recently. It would be great if they brought back Paul Vaughn to do some of the Horizon narration too - he had a fine, authoritative voice that suited the program really well.

At 0:58 it's "Captain of Her Heart" by Double!!

@ajs41 Hear hear! I was a kid, well 12 years old at the time of this clip, but you always learned something watching programmes like this, QED and tommorows world.
Didnt see your comment was 10 months old. Bloody new Youtube set up!

I have an old video from 1983 of Horizon with this theme tune on which is called 'The attack on HMS Sheffield' from the Falklands war. I hope to put it on sometime when i've got the time.

@cisco9x the guy above suggests "Arena" but it could also have been "The World About Us"
-
Are you thinking of the theme to Arena that Brian Eno wrote?
-
No,the guy who wrote this theme music was Robin Brightwell//I remember this because I wrote to the guy//
Back in the days when programmes like Horizon and QED didn't assume viewers were morons (although I was only a kid at the time).

I remember watching videos of this series of Horizon in a ex-WW2 army-issue pre-fab classroom when I was in the second year back in 1985/6.
The titles and the haunting theme music brings back happy memories.
My God - can it really be all of 23 years ago.
