Does anyone remember Charlie Chaplin shown on BBC 2 in the evenings back in the 80s? I remember it had a sad end theme tune comprise of violin and cello. I'd be grateful if anyone can give me a link to hear it again.

OK, it's a pure guess but, if I was to choose an appropriate piece of music to end such a programme, it would have to be 'Smile' (for which Chaplin wrote the music).

I don't remember a particular programme about Charlie Chaplin but there was a series about the silent movies called Hollywood which had a lovely theme tune with violins and cello but I think that was maybe on ITV could that be it?

Thanks Buenchico. I think that's the tune but might have been altered to fit in with the TV series.

This is the original of Limelight, apparently. I reckon the theme you're looking for kicks in at about 2 minutes. And you're right, it's really sad, but absolutely glorious.
