This Train music was also used in "DANGER MOUSE" cartoon in the 1980's, when D.M., and Penfold his sidekick, had to take the famous "Orient Express " but the evil toad Baron Silas Greenback added his private coach, and various other villains tried to defeat DANGER MOUSE, which leads to chaos!! I SAW it in America 🇺🇸 in 1980s era on Cable tv on the NICKELODEON network , but my parents didn't let me use the new VCR, and the sound only was recorded on Audio cassette tapes. GREAT MEMORIES!!!!! HI ON JULY 2023A.D.!!
As a boy, I was sat firmly in front of the radio when this music came on. The music introduced the radio programme "Paul Temple" which listened to avidly every week.
I first heard this evocative theme in 1954 in the town of Norseman in WA as a 8 year old and listened to it until the program finished. Australia's best Radio program.
When all of a sudden, Hercules Poirot steps in, while teasing "Hastings Hastings Hastings" about one of his clever remarks :0) And outside, the green hills, foxhunters on horses etc...
How could there possibly be a thumbs down on this ? , somebody has no soul, perfection in British Light music, gets no better than this wonderful melody that endures forever !.
beautiful memories this tune evokes, In the 1950,s, I was at London,s Camden loco depot and fired a royal scot locomotive through the night to Carlisle, thank you for this fantastic tune, john
The epitome of English Light Orchestral music and a great example of a tone poem. Love the shuffling snare using brushes for the "chuffing" of the train!
@@annejonathan6420y Timothy, there were actually quite a few actors to take the lead role of Paul Temple on the radio. Paul Coke (with Marjorie Westbury at Steve) is probably the best known, most well loved, and longest running actor in the part (and most often repeated on Radio 7^H4 extra). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Temple
If music could conjor up a bygone era than this is that peice of music. Close your eyes and your transported back to a time where life was a little easier, a little slower and a lot more respectful.
Ever so true James. One of the reasons I am a fan of Light Music - apart from it unique artistry of style, precise and well crafted composition - is because it takes one back to another place and time, slower and more respectful as you say, and life seemed less complicated than now.
Wonderful performance of this light classic. This theme, if my memory serves was used for 'The railway carriage game' on BBC radio 4 back in the day. Also they used it for a train journey from London to Brighton in a classic steam railway engine too. Those were the days of great music.
This tune had been in my mind for years. It seemed to be a theme tune to my childhood. It bothered me because I couldn't find it. Thanks to utube, I've found it. There's still another song I've still got to find. I'll let you know.
Yes, similar. And if you grew up in the USA in the 50s you will recognise Puffing Billy as the theme tune of the iconic children's tv programme "Captain Kangroo"!
Love it! All the steam trains are musical! There is a train track at the bottom of my garden and we often get classic steam trains passing through on special days, it was the legendary Flying Scotsman a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful! I was all enveloped in steam as it passed......and that great smell of a coal burning engine.
We call it "light music", but if you listen very carefully the orchestration is very complex indeed, it is very intricate. This is what makes it so enjoyable, to me in any case and, I hope, to you.
It was orchestrated by Cecil Milner, as the composer Vivian Ellis usually did not orchestrate his own work. Ellis got the rhythm of the train from a journey he took from Paddington to Taunton in 1946.
This tune was the signature tune to the BBC's radio detective series, "Paul Temple" broadcast from the 1940's to the 1960's. Paul's wife's name was Steve.
I think this is a superb piece of orchestral music which it is unfair to call 'light'. Some of the chord arrangements must be quite tricky especially when the train is starting up. Wagner did such things for example with the Tristan Isolde chord and then when on to introduce 1.5 hours of dissonent boredom. Ellis kept the pace exciting throughout. John Wilson shows represent the best of popular music entertainment. re Paul Temple : I like the shows though I could never understand the plots. and Temple was always fortuitous it geting evidence at just he right time. egJust as someone got shot Temple was there to hear a mysterious statement made by the dying man. The programme was full of discreet class consciousness but along the the 'posh' voices I do like the shows. Early this AM (30th Nov 2019) Temple solved the Jonathon mystery. How he did it and who was the protaganist I dont know hehehehehe
Yes, it's a great tune and a great arrangement but, like so many others, forgotten a long time ago. We have not passed the wonderful melodies of days gone by to following generations and have regressed to primitive sounds
Paul Temple and his lovely wife were quintessentially English. Steve, her name in the stories, must have been short for Stephanie. As a child I never really knew what was going on, but it didn't matter. I just loved Paul and the elegant Mrs Temple.
Paul Temple's wife was actually called Louise. She was called Steve after her pen name 'Steve Trent'. This according to Wiki. Francis Durbridge who wrote the Paul Temple series was born in Hull.
Sing it: 0:25 On my rizz He is on my rizz On my skibidi and my rizz On grimace shake And skibidi With the rizz Is on my mind On skibidi And grimace shake i love the shake
It was composed to celebrate the Coronation Scot The premier LMS train which ran From London Euston To Glasgow I 1937.The Loco motive 6220 Coronation achieved a speed of 114 mph down madeley bank.
Coronation Scot was the name of the main LMS rail service from London Euston to Glasgow. It was in direct competition with the LNER service from Kings Cross to Edinburgh, whose 10:00am train was called The Flying Scotsman. The two rail companies competed at many levels including speed records. The highest speed for a steam locomotive was achieved by the LNER A4 streamlined locomotive Mallard, on the East Coast main line just south of Grantham - 126mph. No LMS locomotive ever got anywhere near this. Mallard was designed by Sir Nigel Greeley who also designed Flying Scotsman - named after the daily service from Kings Cross. Vivian Ellis’s wonderful piece does NOT celebrate a locomotive which holds any kind of record. John Wilson’s performance of this piece is ... as good as any I have ever heard.
achingly beautiful................
Rhythm Of Stem Hissing, Pistons Stroking, Crank Shaft Rotating & Coal Burning.. What An Amazing Work Of Engineering..
As a very young child I loved this piece of music. I had been known to shed a tear or two whilst listening to it. Such was the beauty of the piece.
.Me too..
One of my favourite pieces of English light music that also became famous as the theme for the BBC Radio
drama series "Paul Temple".
For those who didn't know, the Coronation Scot was one of the most beautiful steamtrains ever build, hence the "trainish" sounds...
Coronation was the locomotive.The Coronation Scot was the name of the train that Ran From London Euston To Glasgow.
@@williamwoolhouse3702 duchess of hamilton was the name of the locomotive
The LMSs answer to the LNER Flying Scotsman.
@@auxxik3805 the service called "Coronation Scot" was hauled by various different locos.
Also it influenced based spancer
theme
Wonderful! Brings back so many memories from decades ago. Including Paul Temple seriaqls on the radio...Thanks!!!
I also listened to Paul Temple. This music brought me running into the house to sit by the radio. Oh, the memories !!
This Train music was also used in "DANGER MOUSE" cartoon in the 1980's, when D.M., and Penfold his sidekick, had to take the famous "Orient Express " but the evil toad Baron Silas Greenback added his private coach, and various other villains tried to defeat DANGER MOUSE, which leads to chaos!!

Beautiful John and co. You are safe hands for this lovely old light music
I first heard this evocative theme in 1954 in the town of Norseman in WA as a 8 year old and listened to it until the program finished. Australia's best Radio program.
Pure nostalgia, great piece of British light music.
You can only imagine all the ladies sitting on the train, in beautiful dresses and nice hats
Thank you ithink that i know what you mean but i think I'll stick to a tie and suit. Great music.

Roger Coleman I am not from UK but I like the British railway
IGNORE---TROLLS
Don't worry their other couch potatoes or cant understand the magisty of music
beautiful memories this tune evokes, In the 1950,s, I was at London,s Camden loco depot and fired a royal scot locomotive through the night to Carlisle, thank you for this fantastic tune, john
Perfection in light music. Wonderful orchestration, peerless performance, gorgeous melody.
What more could anyone want?
One of the first pieces of music I remember hearing on the wireless when I was three or four years old.
Many thanks for the info.
I want the aspect ration corrected.
Nostalgic - sitting back and listening to excellent light music whilst travelling
through the British countryside - drive out the stress for a time.
Exquisite piece of music. Gives me goose bumps no matter how often I hear it....
Absolutely wonderful heart lifting and of course the Temple plays on Radio.
The epitome of English Light Orchestral music and a great example of a tone poem. Love the shuffling snare using brushes for the "chuffing" of the train!
She was busy was that lass. Perfection....
This was used in a radio show called Paul Temple. Francis Matthews (also known as the voice of Captain Scarlett) played the title role.
Sorry but Francis Matthews was the TV Paul Temple.. It was Peter Coke on radio
@@annejonathan6420y Timothy, there were actually quite a few actors to take the lead role of Paul Temple on the radio. Paul Coke (with Marjorie Westbury at Steve) is probably the best known, most well loved, and longest running actor in the part (and most often repeated on Radio 7^H4 extra).

If only we had Time machines!
My music teacher showed us this and I loved it right from the start!
This is gorgeous what a lovely tune fond memories of when i was young
Fabulous music, love it!
Listening to this tune sends tingles down my spine!, This recalls my earliest childhood memories before attending kindergaten.
This is my favourite piece of british light music about my favourite transport: Trains!
0:25 And now the BBC is proud to present the first episode of a new radio drama series, 'The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots.' Part One: The Beginning.
Memory provoking, from gloriously simple times
Evocative of an era gone, lovely.
Wonderful performance of this light classic. This theme, if my memory serves was used for 'The railway carriage game' on BBC radio 4 back in the day. Also they used it for a train journey from London to Brighton in a classic steam railway engine too. Those were the days of great music.

+Hilary Zuccarini could it be puffing billy...?
Yes, similar. And if you grew up in the USA in the 50s you will recognise Puffing Billy as the theme tune of the iconic children's tv programme "Captain Kangroo"!
COMPOSED BY BRITAIN, EDWARD WHITE
Takes me back to my childhood, (infantsy) first day at school with a picture of a tain on the wall, 65 years ago magic!
Exquisite, thank you!
very nice piece of music reminds me of the olden days
Paul Temple theme tune - capital.
Paul Temple . Yes . The 50's . I loved it.
I never thought I would see the day that the magic of the art of music would be combined with the magisty of a steam locomotive.
Wonderful the age of steam never dies.
Well, I've got an electric iron now!
By Timothy!
Fabulous music!
I never thought of orchestras playing this. I thought they were just musical trains.
Love it! All the steam trains are musical! There is a train track at the bottom of my garden and we often get classic steam trains passing through on special days, it was the legendary Flying Scotsman a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful! I was all enveloped in steam as it passed......and that great smell of a coal burning engine.
This reminds me of Swan Vesta matches as it was used in their adverts. It’s also used for the radio detective ‘Paul Temple’ series as its theme
We call it "light music", but if you listen very carefully the orchestration is very complex indeed, it is very intricate. This is what makes it so enjoyable, to me in any case and, I hope, to you.
Absolutely..... and just a great tune!
It was orchestrated by Cecil Milner, as the composer Vivian Ellis usually did not orchestrate his own work. Ellis got the rhythm of the train from a journey he took from Paddington to Taunton in 1946.
Britain's answer to 'Rhapsody in Blue?'
Usually late for school when this was played on the radio!!😲😄
Real Professional Music!
Torn between this and Devil's Galop as to what was my top favourite growing up.
Richard Thompson used to play this as part of his improv during Fairport Conventions cover of Paul Butterfields East / West.
Spencer's theme in thomas and friends is very similar to this
Actually Spencer's theme was inspired by this music piece. Ironic as its music about his classes rival
@hksproductions8507 Yeah, both are good pieces of music though
Look out Steve!
Mark Atkins By Timothy that was close...
This is AWESOME!!
This tune was the signature tune to the BBC's radio detective series, "Paul Temple" broadcast from the 1940's to the 1960's. Paul's wife's name was Steve.
QUITE RIGHT ,WELL SAID, MANY GREAT RADIO SERIES IN THOSE POST WAR DAYS HAD MEMORABLE MUSICAL INTRO/OUTROS .THE BBC CARED ABOUT QUALITY BACK THEN
Played, if I remember rightly, by Peter Coke (but pronounced 'Cook') & Marjorie Westbury.
Love that foxy clarinet
Fantastic
Fabulous !
いい曲だ、本当にいい曲だ
I always wish it ended with the crescendo around 20.55 jumping back into the main theme from 0.26.
By Timothy ! I know that tune.

i bet stanier would be proud with this, and me too ;)
Great memories of this tune from ages ago, but who was the detective on the BBC Light Programme?
Thank you MatchstalkMenBand.

correct.
reminds one of matches!
I play the clarinet I
As an expat I can think of nothing more quintessentially British
Paul Temple theme.
But it’s perfect
Sing it: 0:25

He is on my rizz
On my skibidi and my rizz
On grimace shake
And skibidi
With the rizz
Is on my mind
On skibidi
And grimace shake i love the shake
What in the high hell is wrong with you
Does the Paul Temple series on BBC mean anything?
Coronation Scott was used for he Radio series, Something quite different from the TV series which were Not nearly so good or so popular
who administers the copyright to this please?
+MatchstalkMenBand Thanks
Correct.
Great performance of an old chestnut celebrating the locomotive which holds the speed record in the British Commonwealth to this day.
I don't think so - that would be 'Mallard'.
It was composed to celebrate the Coronation Scot The premier LMS train which ran From London Euston To Glasgow I 1937.The Loco motive 6220 Coronation achieved a speed of 114 mph down madeley bank.
Coronation Scot was the name of the main LMS rail service from London Euston to Glasgow.

No LMS locomotive ever got anywhere near this. Mallard was designed by Sir Nigel Greeley who also designed Flying Scotsman - named after the daily service from Kings Cross.
Vivian Ellis’s wonderful piece does NOT celebrate a locomotive which holds any kind of record. John Wilson’s performance of this piece is ... as good as any I have ever heard.
Nine people apparently don’t care for trains *OR* great British music!
Jago Hazzard has done a video about the train this music was written for:
ua-cam.com/video/ePPsg5lL-T4/v-deo.html
(And it's rival trains.)
Spencer?
NO
