My desert island disc - Number 7

I grew up in the 1960's, with a black and white television and programmes that started at 4.50pm on weekday afternoons. I'd rush home from school, switch the telly on and wait ages for it to warm up and for the picture to appear - it's true!

When the picture finaly appeared on the TV, I became mesmerised for one hour, which is how long childrens TV programmes were broadcast for each day. A few of the TV programs I saw were from Europe, they had terrible middle class English voice overs, but I never noticed at the time. They were quite magical and introduced me to several exotic European countries.

One of my big favourites was 'Belle and Sebastien' from 1968. The story was about a small boy named Sebastien who befriended Belle, a white dog, who roamed the mountains of the French Alps.

So Disc Number 7 is the theme from 'Belle and Sebastein'. It's less than a minute long, have a listen.
