Jools Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Does anyone what the music is in the BBC's advert for Freeview? Starts off with a little cartoon about "if you eat apple seeds an apple tree with grow in your tummy". It's a jazzy little number, but I cant seem to find any info on it.

Cret Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Dunno mate sorry, but whilst we're trying to identify music I really want to know what's the tune that is often used on trailers/ads etc whenever some old fashioned black & white, happy families, picnic, cleaning product, type thing. A bit cholmondley-warner style. It's got the screechy bit at the start that sounds like the stabbing bit off psycho. I bet everyone knows the one I mean but doesn't know what it is, and I want it.

The Old Git Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I'm guessing it's not Clocks / Coldplay then There's a few sites that list music in ads http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/index.asp http://www.whatsthatcalled.com/ etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Commercial Breaks and Beats is always the first place I try but the only recent one they had was Coldplay. Also tried Whatsthattune but it isnt listed their either. Cret, I think I know the bit of music your talking about, but I havent got a clue what its called or who its by.. gets used a lot though so I'll keep my ears open for it on the ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Cheers mate - after posting on whatthattune & some googling I found reference to Uncle Mac's Children's Favourites radio show, which I think also went under the name of Junior Choice. Can't find the theme to it to see if it's the right one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 The theme to Junior Choice was 'Morningtown Ride'. Here is a Seekers album. Track 11 - you can click for a Real/Windows Media sample of the song. It's slower than the version which they used as the radio theme. Rockin rollin riding Out along the bay All bound for Morningtown Many miles away Crickey. That brought back some memories.

Lonan3 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 From http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk om 1954, for generations of children, Saturday morning was one of the great highlights of the week. Although the weekday "Children's Hour" provided rich entertainment for those between the ages of potty and puberty , Uncle Mac's selection of record requests was something very special: you might even hear your name being read out! Sheer bliss!!! His opening words "Hello Children Everywhere!" and the string orchestra signature tune of 'Puffing Billy', became symbols of the Fifties every bit as evocative as Dan Dare, Meccano and grey flannel shorts.

simon Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Just done a Google. Apparently the show was only called Junior Choice after Radio 1 started in 1967. So two different shows and two different themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Only heard a midi version of Puffing Billy (or puffing billy rag as it was called on this site) but nothing like the one I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Well that was wierd ... I've been waiting all week for my torrent of Constantine to finish downloading, so I watch it tonight (its pants btw) and the exact piece of music I have been trying to find crops up in the film briefly! The Dave Brubeck Quartet - "Take Five" is what I was after, if anyone's even remotely interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 This is a total rank outside shot in the dark... however! I am a fan of E.R. and was watching the episode where Dr Carter and another female doctor (called Lucy I think?) were both stabbed and left for dead whilst the majority of the hospital staff were Christmas partying. While the two of them were lying on the floor bleeding to death an absolutely top bit of rock music was playing. It has bugged me ever since that I have not heard it again to be able to track it down and get it. Any helpful suggestions will be met with the most stomach turning sickening gratitude.
