Does anyone know what any of the music is that's used in episodes of the Lord Peter Wimsey stories on Radio 4 Extra? I've tried contacting the BBC but all they do is refer me to various web pages connected with the programme and the info isn't there. Thanks!

Thanks, folks - even if these don't include the tunes I want, I'm going to get them anyway - LOVING this stuff!!
Thanks, Buenchico. I was looking for exactly the same thing, and that seems to be it (haven't heard it since it was on Radio 4 many years ago).

It's "When Day Is Done" by Paul Whiteman.
Main music is "When Day Is Done" by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra (trumpet soloist Henry Busse). Does anybody know the incidental clips?
One of the incidental tunes is "Sunday" by Jean Goldkette & His Orchestra (Beidebecke solo)

The song is called "When Day Is Done." There are many versions. The one they chose is fabulous, but I have been unable to track down its origin on YouTube and elsewhere. So if it's the recording you want I'm not much help.
If you're still looking, try this!
