Graham is part of a surreal family sit-com called MRS WATT'S BOYS, about a misplaced Scottish family living it up in Spain.
It's a live show, taped before a live audience, and contains all sorts of crazy shenanigans.
The 'Fruit Stall' segments are especially hilarious!!
Some of the things Graham and his family of nutmegs find under the groceries are completely bonkers.
Series 3 is coming to DVD (and VHS) very soon.

Regarding THE RED TENT, the 22-minute cue is broken up into chunks for various sequences in the film. For instance, the massive bass trombone bits accompany the Russian icebreaker trying to reach the "Italia" survivors.

Les - I've never seen THE RED TENT and although the CD which I "bought at the market yesterday" (see later) has the same content as the old LP I picked up when living in Blighty, it never even crossed my mind to question how that Side B suite had been compiled. But yes, it's hardly likely to have been 22 minutes of continuous music in the film. Do you think the album would be better if the less melodic material had been dropped in at various intervals throughout the "Side A" tracks? And has anyone heard the Aleksandr Zatrepin score for the Russian version of the movie?

Kev - You know me so well. That's me, and that's my life. And this is my cat...
_________________________________________________________________________________

Hello SEÑOR JUANKI - I am Graham's cat. I speak English well, I learn it from a book. He is my owner and I love him. He gives me food and so does his wife, the Spanish señora. They are good people, but Mr Graham lives in a fantasy world. I tell you this because he has not the cojones to admit to you the truth. He didn't buy those CDs is the market yesterday - he ordered them from Rosebud in Valencia and they might arrive this week. He has never bought a CD in the supermarket here. I think you deserve to hear the truth, even if I am a cat.

Hey, I found my cat walking across the keyboard! Sorry for the gobbledygook. Looking forward to playing the Morricone CDs I found amongst the vegetables last night at the market. I'll let you know what I think of them when I have time to listen, possibly in five or six days average shipping time.

In THE RED TENT film itself, the sequence where the Russian radio ham picks up the S.O.S. and goes to inform the authorities still has the Russian score cue. It's actally rather Morricone-ish!

"Do you think the album would be better..."
----------------------------------
Yes, most definitely it would.
The expanded edition of this score allows for this, with shorter versions of the atonal/morse code music, which you can drop into the programme, for contrast...and respite.
I had/have the LP and hardly ever played side 2. Certainly not the whole way through.
But I like hearing the shorter versions of that music, in amongst the great stuff.

And has anyone heard the Aleksandr Zatrepin score for the Russian version of the movie?

First of all, in Russia "original" Russian-version is much more known, because only THAT version was released on DVD in Russia.
So most people know that version.
As I understand, at same time when film was released in USSR, LP album (~22 min), also was released, so music is also well-known (in 1977 bit different program was released in Japan).
About 6 months ago Zatcepin (that's his surname, not Zatrepin) released expanded (maybe even complete - I didn't compare) version of soundtrack, almost 42 minutes. I listened it numerous times since Julne, and really enjoy it.

And as I said funny thing is that actually I don't know Morricone's score as well as I know Zatcepin's one...

These are great news. Do you know if the expanded version is available as lossless files in a download store?

I know only that it was released on LP and thankfully - on CD (other Zatcepin's scores from that label are LP-only, sadly, and they are really great - I wish that they will release Captain Nemo on CD, but alas... frown ).

I found the new release:
https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/18208819

It's even on Qobuz!
https://www.qobuz.com/fr-fr/album/-/yjg4cpttihfva

...and there are much more soundtracks by Aleksandr Zatsepin on Qobuz!!!!

It seems that Qobuz sells the LP only releases as lossless flac files!
