Product Description

CD Description

A bumper 2 CD set of 54 tracks that spans over half-a-century of classic British TV themes from the pirate accordion of Captain Pugwash through to Barrington Pheloung's distinctive music for Lewis. Music from an era when British TV promised quality productions, star names and instantly recognisable themes. Includes worldwide TV smashes Danger Man,The Avengers,The Saint, Man In A Suitcase,The Prisoner, Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased), UFO and The Persuaders,all still regularly screened over 40 years later. Covering all elements of the genre from the deceptive strings of Fawlty Towers to the strident military march of Monty Python's Liberty Bell to the sombre and chilling theme to the WWII documentary series World At War. A feast of vintage telly tune nostalgia.

Like other similar albums featuring the same group of orchestras and performers, this collection of cover versions (there is not ONE original TV theme recording on this album) fails to make the grade. Very disappointing for those spending a lot of money for a collection of this genre.

Format:Audio CD
Another compilation in Silva Screen's TV Themes series, this one features a good selection of classic and up-to-date themes from British TV series. With the exception of Hal Lindes' theme from Between the Lines, these are all mainly re-recordings by the Prague Philharmonic, London Music Works & Mark Ayres.

The Prague tracks are, on the whole, performed well although some sound muffled and badly recorded. The Mark Ayres re-recordings are inoffensive music-by-numbers tracks competently performed, but now re-issued so many times, they come under the "skip button" category.

The London Music Works tracks though, are dreadful. I don't know who they are, but they sound like a similar setup to the infamous "Power Pack Orchestra" that released a number of albums on EMI's MFP label.

As usual, Silva Screen make no mention on the front or back of the CD that these are re-recordings, so if you've come across a sealed copy in a store, you have to buy it before you find out. Sneaky.

Recommended? Yes, but only just.
