Please did anyone recognise the music which was playing while Monty

It was so familiar to me, taking me back to my youth. It was the
signature tune of some long-running radio or early TV programme (of
the 50s?) and it's driving me mad trying to think what it was.

Pam in Bristol

It just drove us mad. All of it! Too loud, too long, too much. Of
all places in the entire world that could speak for itself you'd
think the Taj Mahal would be it. And what happened - someone thought
he could improve on the devoted perfection which commemorates a dead
spouse. We were spitting tacks! Why are they so scared of silence?
After that personal moan, I think emailing the Beeb is a solution for
you, Pam, if nobody can help you here.

Recently the Beeb experimented on Freeview with being able to switch off
background music if one so desired.

One can only hope that this facility will eventually become available on all
Beeb programmes.
