    Galloping Home, by Denis King. Stirs such emotions every time I hear it. Childhood personified. My current mobile ringtone too.</p>

    Also love Spartacus-Adagio, by Khackhachurin (sp) which is from a TV show of about the same era. Evokes memories of Sunday night bedtime.</p>

    And a tune by Reverberi and Mellin, again, probably the same era. Beautiful tune.</p>

    </p>

    Amazing what emotions nostalgia evokes. Can anybody name the shows ? Go on, give your age away</p>

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Second was Onedin Line. First sounds like cowboys or horses, so given the era could be one of many.

    Last one, no idea.

    I'd say the first was probably from Black Beauty

    Did a search on the last one

    Robinson Crusoe

    You are right in that does evoke memories of childhood.
