Theme tune?
What was the name of the long-running theme tune, and who composed it? Valetude (talk) 22:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * according to this BBC page it looks like it's a custom-written piece, "Calling All Workers (Worker's Playtime' Theme Tune)" by Eric Coates, who seems to have written almost all the light music used at that time! Annoyingly I cannot get the BBC link to play. It is also included here but there's no composer data. Hope this helps, best wishes DBaK (talk) 15:33, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, except that I have now had a look at Eric Coates and List of compositions by Eric Coates and I am not sure that what I said above is right. "Calling All Workers" is listed at the latter article as being the theme for Music While You Work. So I am now a touch confused tbh. Sorry. DBaK (talk) 15:38, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, y're right. "Calling All Workers" is identified in several sources as the MWYW theme. The choral/organ track of the Workers' Playtime theme, from the CD41 recording, is on YouTube here. Some refs should prob be added to the article. jxm (talk) 04:01, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . Which means in turn that that BBC's own page at https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/tracks/nzqg6m is wrong, as it ascribes Calling All Workers to Workers' Playtime, which sounds like it cannot be so. And I still cannot get it to play! Grrrr. I wonder if the custom-built Workers Playtime organ and vocal is also by Coates, or did someone else get a go at it?:) DBaK (talk) 08:20, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
