Uttterly lovely, thankyou so much for this. Is this the track from that BBC Kids' programmes album?

[SurrealAspie]

It was on a 7" BBC single released in 1976 during the programmes second airing on BBC 1. I'm not shore if it was also available on an album, but it could have been.

The music for "The Changes" is excellent, it's really forms a major part of my memories of the show.

Gosh, I thought I was the only person in the world who owns this 7" BBC single! My (rather crackly) copy was passed down to me from my mother, who in turn got it from her brother who bought it when it came out in 1976. I've never seen a copy for sale *anywhere*, so it must be as rare as gold dust! I shall definitely hang on to it!! Great music, and excellent choice of clips to go with it. Thanks for uploading this -- although the music isn't in stereo as YouTube doesn't allow such high quality!

@SurrealAspie It was released on the CD "BBC Radiophonic Music: A Retrospective" among other incidental music and theme tunes from the 60s to the 90s. 1:57 is my favorite part!

GREAT STUFF! i`ve been searching for years and years for this! Watched it when I was a kid! Really scary it was!!

Do you have any kind of artist listing on the disc as I'm sure my sitar teacher of 1978, a Mrs Singh, said she played the sitar for this series & there's supposed to be quick shot of her playing in there too???

Ps

What a great job of matching vision to audio. Well done. The track IS in stereo, certainly in my download anyway.

I remember the series but missed the first few episodes when it was on UK Gold ages ago.

It would be kind of scary if the things that happened in The Changes happened in real, but the way the world is going at the moment it would not surprise me if it did happen.

I remember watching every episode when I was young although I only found out it's name two years ago. I remembered the girl hearing the whistle noise when she looked up at electricity pylons. They probably wouldn't let kids watch it these days but none of the things in it affected me.

Threads is a GREAT film..!!!

[Malcos68]

As there have been several apocalytic dramas, did anyone see Survivors, similar era, or Threads a decade later?

[trickstick84]

I don't think so. Peter Dickinson wrote three novels for children, of which this is an amalgam. As I recall, the novels describe a society in which people need to cope without any of the technology that we take for granted. The reason for this is much less important than the personalities of the characters.

Its basically based on Luddites isnt it?
