' Aural paper ' decorates our whole environment. Shops, railway stations, restaurants and factories echo to the sound of music that most of us didn't choose and some of us don't even notice is there. Bernard Falk talks to the men who bring you ' Colonel Bogey ' at the station, ' Green-sleeves ' in the supermarket, and selected classics in the hospital operating theatre, and asks them why they decided to install music, and how the rest of us respond.
