What V would have enjoyed Pete Postlethwaite's musican fillum; had a terminal connection with Bax; and shared a first name with a man who cried on TV and amazed the nation

[Chris Newman]

Would it be true to say that this V's music was not actually played in the film but he wrote music?

Spot on, Chris - the clue defines a genre And the V wrote this sort of music

In which case I plump for Gilbert Vinter who died in Tintagel in 1969. Film: Brassed Off....genre Brass Band Music.Arnold Bax wrote Tintagel. The man who cried on TV was Gilbert Harding.

Wow I am stunned by that! I had worked out Brassed Off but was drowning in orange juice... Lovely film!

Weber?

Bravo cloughie!

I would say Oberon, Freischutz (our choir are currently learning Jagerchor!) and probably Ruler of the Spirits but that's a guess!

[Chris Newman]

Could it be Vincent Youmans? He wrote Tea for Two, and the songs for Flying Down to Rio.

But the Russian composer?? <scratches head>

Oh it's Shosty!!! He arranged Tea for Two - Tahiti Trot, Op. 16
