[Harp-L] Tommy Reilly and P.C. George Dixon

["Steve Shaw" <moorcot@xxxxxxx>]

BBC Radio 4 has a six-part series reviving "Dixon of Dock Green," the London 
police TV drama from the 50s and 60s, starting on Wednesday at 11.30a.m.  It 
had a memorable theme tune called "An Ordinary Copper" which was played on 
harmonica by Tommy Reilly and which I get asked to play more than anything 
else apart from the theme tune to "Last of the Summer Wine" (which I believe 
he also played!).  Tommy also played the theme from the long-running radio 
show "The Navy Lark."  He was a pretty good classical harmonicist too!  I 
heard a trailer for the new radio series this morning, and they played the 
famous theme, but I'm not sure it was the original...I'll have to listen to 
the programme proper on Wednesday.
