Another superb collection from WHR, this time focusing on tracks from the De Wolfe library which were used on British tv shows in the 60s and 70s such as Monty Python, Van Der Valk and Special Branch, and also features music used on the "Schools & Colleges" programmes such as Finding Out, Living and Growing, etc. Department TV is an absolute must-own!
Note: At the end of track 27, there is a hidden track called "Noble Thoughts" by James Harpham.
Extra note: Track 28 - "Children's Polka" - is, unfortunately, unlistenable due to what appears to be a glitch on the original cd. Sorry about that! :( Don't let it put you off though! ;)
