      I definitely know what you know mean. I grew up watching Barry Norman's Film series and was always trying to win a director's chair. Jonathan Ross, isn't in the same league as Barry Norman. When I hear the Film series, intro music used on that new TV advert it breaks my heart. Can't believe it's 40 years ago, where did it all go. RIP Barry Norman, one of heroes my childhood , teenage, and young adult years.

The depth of knowledge and analysis impressed me immensely. Its So disappointing to watch the present day presenters and commentators.

    Even if a film was poor he was never nasty or sneering, but you could tell through his clever and subtle vocabulary if the film was a dud. He was one of the coolest dudes I've seen on TV, everything was effortless with him and his sardonic laid back drawl coupled with his lazy boy chair avuncalur jumper wearing demeanor made him one of the accidental dudes of TV.

    The tune is "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free." by Billy Taylor. It's a Grade 3 jazz piano piece, which is how I learned the title. Here's Billy playing it: ruclips.net/video/brBtTluod_w/видео.html
    Oh just saw another commenter also pointed this out.
    Nina Simone used to sing it too, I think it's featured in the Netflix documentary about her.

    I think my earliest memory of this program was watching the box office Top 10 for the UK and Crocodile Dundee was at the top. I was a regular watcher of it from about 1991 onwards - remember his classic reviews of Unforgiven, Schindler's List, In the Name of the Father, etc. I always loved the end of the year show with his Top 10 best and worst of the year. Such a great program.

      @Raw Engineer There were a few critically acclaimed mainstream British films (My Beautiful Laundrette, The Crying Game etc) that pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable for general release because of their gay themes /characters yes. We were ahead of the curve with this type of filmmaking. Funny people would point out anything gay considering those types of films were definitely in the minority.

You should check it out his Big Band instrumentals are class, pity about the singing voice!

    Music by Bille Taylor
    ""I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free", was adopted as an unofficial anthem for the US civil rights movement and was recorded by Nina Simone for her 1967 album Silk and Soul. The BBC's Film show, which began as a national programme in 1972, also adopted the tune and made the instrumental version into an instantly recognisable classic in Britain"

I started watching and think the chart music was from 1986-1988 that was the best - just upbeat, and perfect for the charts bit, before it got replaced by a more sedate, slower chart theme. If i get any info, i will drop you a mail.
