Please did anyone recognise the music which was playing while Monty
was at the Old Railway Garden in the tea growing area?
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.


Just tell me how. Please.

Thanks, Jeff. Is this continuing on present programmes, or have I missed
something?
