I remember the theme well. Quite proggy, descending motif played on the organ against a bassline. Very reminiscent of Bach and not too dissimilar to VDGG's 'Theme' Great stuff!!!

Another TV current affairs programme with a Prog related theme was This Week, which used the Intermezzo from Sibelius's Karelia suite, but sadly not The Nice version.

| ...and of course Jim Davidson used to use ELP themes on "The generation game". He actually recorded an album, which was produced by Greg Lake, that included the song "Watching over you". |

The World in Action music is great. I think the Hammond was played by Blue Weaver (Strawbs, Amen Corner) with Shawn Philips on guitar. In the 1980s there was a BBC programme about newspapers called The Editors which had Brandenburg by The Nice as its theme tune. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"
