From 1978 to 1984, the BBC very obligingly made new versions of all of William Shakespeare's dramatic works.

As well as facilitating production of these thirty-seven plays, the Beeb also produced a short documentary film for each of them, with some famous bod or other explaining his or her view of the play. Additionally, there was also a radio programme for each play, every one enabling some famous actor or other to share their experience of performing a major part in a previous production of the upcoming play.

The Shakespeare In Perspective" programmes were interesting enough (for me) in their own right, but the generic credits (with percussion by Tristram Fry) jumped off the screen at me for another reason.

See if you can guess why by checking out this Youtube video from 6:59:
