Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

You can now browse old editions of Radio Times here for BBC programmes.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostIn the spirit of the OP, I wonder if fellow Forumistas can help me identify a children's television programme from many years ago (about 1964-66-ish). It was a serial broadcast at Sunday teatimes, with panoramic still illustrations (not animation - but like book illustrations). The story (IIRC) concerned a family who found a small boy on his own in a cave. The boy never spoke, and it gradually emerged that he was from an earlier time (a sort of gentle Stig of the Dump). The series used Ravel's Introduction & Allegro as its theme Music. (Other details might be hazy - I was about five at the time - but the opening of the Music made a very deep impression [no pun intended] and I instantly recognised it ten years later when I first heard the piece on the radio.)
Been nagging at my subconscious for about half-a-century, this. Be wonderful if anyone could identify it for me.

Fantastic! I've just spent a happy hour looking up details of R3 programmes I'd half remembered. What a pity we can't click on for a recording of all those live concerts."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

A Very Peculiar Practice. For anyone at a red brick university in the 80s. Well observed and sometimes surreal.Comment

I'm amazed to see you can still buy the series on DVD, a snip at £13.20 from Amazon. There were also some good dramatisations of "campus" novels - David Lodge's Nice Work, with Warren Clarke and Haydn Gwynne (Originally posted by subcontrabass View Post
), and Malcolm Bradbury's much darker The History Man.

Anyone living in the ATV region in the 1960s couldn't possibly forget the Sound and Vision March by Eric Coates. Sends me straight back to the days when I'd just got in from school.

Damn it! I never both checking the schedule for London Live, so missed the vast majority of today's broadcast of a 1960 film of the Royal Ballet with Margot Fonteyn.
However, I note that it is to be shown again from 06:45 (a.m.) on April Fools' Day. I will make a note in my diary to set the timer.14:45 - 17:30
The Royal Ballet
Margot Fonteyn leads the Royal Ballet in this showcase which was filmed at the Royal Opera House. The footage includes three performances in which Michael Somes partners the prima ballerina, comprising Stravinsky's The Firebird, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Henze's Ondine for which choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton specifically created the title role for Fonteyn.Comment
