THIS CLIP
The Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Rainer Hersch play the theme tune to 'The Archers' - a classic BBC radio drama, broadcast continuously on the service since 1950. The joke is, The Archers is transmitted on BBC Radio 4, not Radio 3 - a fact well known to UK audiences. As it turns out the tune also sounds suspiciously like Dance of the Knights by Sergei Prokofiev.
