Baby Satan"s Lullaby .

2024

God

i never heard of the 8,9, and 10 until now.

God! I'm old.🙂

Sends shivers down my spine. Tragic that ITV is no longer brave enough to produce investigative journalism

Ground Breaking Program. Recognise the theme music within the first few note's.

This brings back memories of Monday night bedtime, school in the morning !

Wonderful Music

I have always loved this piece since I first heard it on TV in the early 1980s. Now at 53 in 2024, here is my take on this music done in 2022: ruclips.net/video/UDnhJbQTwSQ/видео.html

rolling dereck.

The Doors, without the purple hearts!

Yes, Spencer Davis Group, but post Steve Winwood. Sung by the great Eddie Hardin, who's also playing the hammond organ.

THE IMAGE OF THOSE I.R.A GODFATHERS ALL SAT IN A ROOM ALL IN THER 70s/ 80s with white hair & smirks on there faces, this music playing & end credits rolling give me nightmares for a long time. i was just a child, growing up and hearing about the troubles on the news but never knowing who was behind it all, it was a TRUE ( wizard of oz ) moment, REVERSED.

Poignant.

CLASSIC. The real, full studio version. Great memories. If you lived in London or Essex you watched Magpie, leaving Blue Peter for the rest of England to be patronised

A Spencer Davis song I never heard until today. Wow!

The theme music to my childhood in the seventies

World in Action -such groundbreaking and almost revolutionary journalism into often terrible things, but for me evokes memories of 8pm childhood bedtimes! 🥰

World inaction.

This is excellent! Great quality too. Can I ask where it came from?

Thanks for posting this! I used to return home from school and watch Magpie on tv. I loved this song and the opening titles sequence! This piece of music in my childhood must have been one of the reasons why I became a fan of rock music in later years.

Using different drawbar settings in these recordings compared to the final cut and lacking that slight bit of overdrive at the end Would love to hear different versions of the intro music, which was full of overdrive .

nurses strike. blue disability vehicles. orange sodium street lights and steel bins - the 1970s

Fascinating to listen to the evolution of this piece and the alternative versions which might have made it. Still one of the most haunting and memorable theme tunes ever.

I remember these. Vic Flick on guitar.

I used to watch this before going to bed when I was a kid. The documentaries were hard hitting and tough. Showed violence, drug culture, a lot of what probably was scary people, but I've never been affected by what I saw on those programmes and I'm in my mid 50's now. The modern wimp, limp lettuce type documentaries we have today, or even what was on since World In Action finished, don't even come close to being as good and hard hitting as World In Action. Now they have to put a message up saying you might be offended by this and you can get support here and you watch them and I don't know if it's just me, but there's nothing to be offended by. 🤷‍♂️ The only documentary series, over all these years, to come close to World In Action, was I think called The Cook Report. He did some quite hard hitting, in depth reporting. I always loved the World In Action music. The Hammond organ sound just makes it more mind blowing. Hearing it does bring back a lot of nice memories from that time. I see also, that a lot of the World In Action documentaries have been uploaded on YT too and I've watched one, but I'm defo going to watch more. Anyway, this is the first time I've heard the actual recording session of the music. Great stuff. 🙂👌

Just amazing

Meg " I'm turning my back on the motel, my life there is finished". And Crossroads was never the same again.

QVC UK launched on 1st September 1993 on the Astra 1C satellite Channel 38 GHz V Polarisation Stereo 7.02 / 7.20 Mhz, as part of the Sky Multichannels package encoded in VideoCrypt 1 and later on also broadcast on Multichoice Kaleidoscope's pay TV bouquet encoded in VideoCrypt 2 for viewers on the European continent. After a while it went free to view soft scrambled in VideoCrypt 1 and VideoCrypt 2 (decoder required but no smartcard or subscription needed). Then after that, it went totally free to air and opened up it's phonelines to European viewers on the continent (but they would not allow electrical goods to be sold to European viewers on the continent because of the voltage difficulty - if you plugged appliances set for 240v into other countries voltages, they might explode or catch fire). QVC is still free to air on Astra 2G's Pan European beam which covers a good part of Europe as well as the UK.

The mighty Mick Weaver with this absolute banger!

For years, as a kid, I thought the vocals were sung by Steve Winwood. Eddie Hardin's singing voice was not entirely dissimilar to SW's, in this case. Anyway, it sounds great.

Anyone know the name of the font used in the Magpie logo ?

Played a few times during the soap's run, but this beautiful piece always makes me think of Meg in her room having written the letter to Jill, then looking at Jill and Sandy's photographs, before finally deciding to leave the motel that night on the 4th.Nov.'81 and reminds me of Jill saying goodbye to Meg on the QE2, it was played when Meg says to Jill, "it's time to go darling, goodbye".

Ooh that's Nice! I never saw it enough to have been aware of this variation, thank you🙏

Well supper musicianship,and really something listening to these session recordings as they were working the parts out ,just great ,we so need this kind of musicianship these days ,great stuff .🌍

*"MAAAG-PIEEEEE!"* *1 for sorrow* *2 for joy* *3 for a girl* *4 for a boy* *5 for silver* *6 for gold* *7 for a secret never to be told* *"MAAAG-PIEEE!"* *8's a wish and* *9's a kiss* *10 is a bird you must not miss*

When i was a kid, even the dog use to sneak up on my bed when this came on tv..

Tramp: C’mon, I’ll race you home! Lady: okay

Brilliant theme tune and programme from days gone by. I watched this all the time with Mick Robertson and his Marc Bolan hairstyle brilliant presenter.

Groovy tune man ✌️

Doom in a theme tune. Such a great piece. Also such a shame to read of the wrangles around it’s origin. I wish this was available anywhere to purchase. I would!

Some Excellence here ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knew it was bed time when this came on in early 70s

Great to hear more of this! Top notch musicians playing a great tune. Really takes me back to being a kid in the seventies, like a few other TV themes seem to. I taped the TV theme on my Dad's radio cassette player, using a plug in mic by the telly. No idea who it was then. Amazing.

Nice to hear this version - you only seem to hear the commercially released version which isn't quite the same.

Darker times then come back

OMG THIS IS GOLD!

Great to hear the original recording.

Have you got the full outro theme please?.
