Test the nation

[ManUjrm]

I know it's a long shot but is there a chance anyone knows what music was used for question 9 of Test the Nation last night? The question was, "How old is planet Earth?" PLease help!

Hi ManUjrm,

I'm afraid that didn't see last night's show but given that the BBC recently ran their documentary series 'Planet Earth' I wonder if they might have used the theme tune to that? Its a very uplifting piece of music called 'Hoppipolla' by the Icelandic band Sigur Ros from their album 'Takk'. You can find a sample of it on Amazon.com by searching with those names.

The BBC only used the instrumental version/part of the song for their series.

Apologies if its not the music you're looking for, I thought that it was worth hazarding a guess.

No it's not that, it's a bit of a tense peice of music.
