They're Playing My Tune

on BBC Two England

Four short films about music and memory.

A song, or a tune, made special because of the moment with which it's associated, becomes the personal property of the listener.
In the third programme of this series, Joan Williams from Bournemouth describes her special tune as one that she would dearly like to forget, because it reminds her all too vividly of the worst moment of her life. The scene, wherein the housemaid is caught in the act (of playing the parlour piano) is magically re-created, to lay Joan Williams's 50-year-old ghost.
