    I agree.

    In combination with the opening sequence it used to chill me. It set the tone for a serious and sober portrayal of horror and pain - with no escape. No romanticism. No false patriotism. Just a grim and relentless catalogue of human folly, evil and ordinary heroism.

I think it was only using string instruments if I remember correctly?

    Jaws, Superman, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter.


    Hear a couple of bars of any of those (or in some cases a couple of notes) and you instantly know which film it is. And each of those films would have been significantly less without those scores.

    All the work of the same man - John Williams

    My late dad and I's favourite programme of the time.

    The score (by Carl Davis who I had to look up), along with the Laurence Olivier's narration and real footage of the war make the compelling to watch even today.
