There's a full fifty seconds of Barwick Green end theme on Sunday 27th's podcast, which is more than has been transmitted for years.
(Like a trip back in time to when The Archers wasn't played before a live programme (Front Row) and before the Tedious Men From Marketing divvied up all of Radio Four's spare seconds and allocated them to trailers.)
Several questions spring to mind on this obviously highly important issue.
1) The podcast is thirty seconds longer than last week, due to the extra music. Will this continue?
2) How much end theme is supplied to Radio Four on the broadcast tape / .avi? Have Continuity been depriving us of occasional blasts of Barwick Green for years, or have you Mailbox types been fading it out early, and not leaving them anything to play with.
yours geekily etc etc
The programme we supply to Radio 4 always has that amount of end music, although it's usually faded much earlier.
Thanks Keri.
Mr K informed us some time ago that the 1992 recording (the current version in use) was of the whole of Barwick Green. What a waste of time for the musicians concerned, when the bulk of their performance has never been heard on the air. I'm particularly thinking of the tumultuous closing bars, which must require a fair bit of hard work.....!
It was heard, in the Radio 2 concert by the Ron Goodwin orchestra at which the recording was made.
