I absolutely love this theme tune.. My Mum and I used to watch this programme on BBC2..
Wonderful series and the came The Victorian Kitchen with Ruth Mott… Brilliant and Mr Dodson would bring all the goodies from the garden for ‘cook’ (Ruth) to cook for the Household and staff… Ahh fabulous memories… :0)x

I remember this very well. It was just about this time we were able to see BBC programmes directly in the Netherlands and this was a favourite of mine straightaway. I’m also really pleased to find the theme tune is still being played.
Happy memories!
Hats of to Harry!

I really would like to see the rest of the serises .. i live outside of boston and its very hard to buy let alone find. i notice a lot of other people have posted as well so i belive a lot of people would be greatful if you will : )
Yes its been on recently. Ruth made brawn with a big pigshead , and a kind of fake mayo without eggs, Its brilliant. Im sorry to hear that harry is gone
This sounds so much better with harp accompanyment than piano I see why they wrote “piano or harp”
I always play this a bit fast.
beautiful opening anyway.
Thankyou, You’ve taken me back to the 1970′s! I watched this as a child with my parents on a Sunday. Sadly, my Father and Mother have since passed away, but the theme still brings the memorys back.
Simply gorgeous…a long lost era. Remember watching the series many years ago, and the others that followed, ie the victorian kitchen itself and what the household cooked and ate etc. Lovely.
The show is now being repeated daily on freeview channel yesterday. 12-1pm 2 shows back to back.
I would love to see this entire series – everything about it is simply wonderful.
This theme music brings back many memories. very nostalgic and sentimental.

I’ve just sat here, transfixed, for ten minutes which is pretty stupid as I have the series on VHS ( well worn ). See you in several hours.
Why just the first ten minutes of these episodes? Is this poster ever going to put up the rest? Anyone know another site I can stream this from?
This show is great!
sorry to hear that Donegal
they dont make em like
Harry anymore
I was just thinking fond memories of watching thsi show.
Sad to hear Mr Dodson died……….

gahctep – Harry Dodson died a few years ago – gone to that beautiful garden in Heaven, where, I hope, all the garden pests are missing!
Respect to the great Harry Dodson
Wonder if he is still with us.

Very enjoyable. The intro is beautiful! Love the music. Even its ruined state, I think the garden was still beautiful. Dig that rotary phone!
Brilliant to see this on you tube.
Such sublime music…
