Open University - clock and ident - 1983

Counting down to that creepy music and symbol!

Used to scare me as a kid. :)

The music, as everyone knows, is the first 6 bars of 'Divertimento for three trumpets and three trombones' by Leonard Salzedo.

I had a close friend who went to study at the *Open University* he sadly died there of a heart attack. His body is still there and I don't have any means of knowing how to get to the Open University to retrieve it.

Presumably his family would make the necessary arrangements. By post, naturally.
