Blott on the Landscape theme

[Captain Spod]

I believe it was Metropolitan March, but who performed it?

Thanks,

Possibly the Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards.

The recording is available as an MP3 download from Amazon, or you can buy the full album ("Regimental Marches of the British Army, Vol 2") for £4.98 , either as a CD or in MP3 format:

Oops!

I meant to mention that the price of the track download is just 59p

Sadly that version is not nearly as funny as the one used in the tv series.

I don't know who is performing it though.

I've found this:
In 1984, Viv Fisher recorded the first known multivocal TV theme tune, vocalising parts of a Brass Band for the title sequence of a BBC gameshow series entitled Bob's Full House. In 1985, he performed the same role for BBC drama series, Blott on the Landscape, this time vocally recreating all instruments and percussion.

And yes, it was Viv Fisher who vocalised all the instruments.

And here he is, performing on a kiddies programme.

Viv Fisher, that's it. Thanks everyone. Who needs Google when you've got AB?
