Well, it's five past nine and nearly time for six past nine. On BBC 2 now it'll shortly be six and a half minutes past nine. Later on this evening it'll be ten o'clock and at 10.30 we'll be joining BBC 2 in time for 10.33, and don't forget tomorrow when it'll be 9.20. Those of you who missed 8.45 on Friday will be able to see it again this Friday at a quarter to nine. Now here is a time check. It's six and a half minutes to the big green thing.

You're a loony.

In case you just missed Monty Python's Flying Circus, here it is again.

The first piece still feels strangely contemporary today. The second, well I'm a sucker for that 1970s production, it sounds glorious even if totally dated.

classic tune science notes-reminds us of when we had only 3 tv channels

And the test card early in the morning and pages from ceefax during the night.

the second tune is Ronnie hazelhurst's lovely version of the bbc tune

Very nice! Been trying to get a hold of that Montage CD to hear the recreated tracks (only ever heard small snippets of it) so good to hear one of them here!

Very groovy! What's the first piece called? Sounds like something from the Radiophonic Workshop?

Hi, I don't know the title, I found it on an audio cassette. I believe it is from the Radiophonic Workshop. Both pieces of music were sometimes used before the start of programmes. Thanks.

Wow - I'd be interested as to where u found the second piece of music?

Hi, The second piece of music is from a CD called The Full Montage, by The Lucy Reeve Big Band. It contains 20+ tracks of various arrangements based on the BBC chimes from the 60's. Some of which used to be played before the start of programmes. The music was written by Ronnie Hazlehurst, who also wrote the themes from The Two Ronnies & Last of the Summer Wine, amongst many others. Cheers.
