    The original, long running "The Movie Show" used a piano theme, I can't remember what it was, but its arrangement sounded far too close to "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free", the BBC Film programme's theme, for comfort...completely different melody of course, but still...

    The original piano piece is "Last Date" by Floyd Cramer.

    REM also did a cover of this on their In The Attic album.

    Yes, complete & total lack of imagination from RTE, and a completely inappropriate theme tune for such a movie show IMHO.

    That'd be Bill Brown's rearrangement of Carl Orff's "Gassengauer" from "Musica Poetica" IIRC.
