The Phantom Raspberry Blower Music Suite

The Two Ronnies aired on BBC1 from 1971-1987 and was a showcase for the comic brilliance of Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett. The show's format included sketches, solo spots, music numbers and a serialised story which ran across a full season. One of the most loved and best remembered was the 1976 season's The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town, written by Spike Milligan and a Gentleman (aka Ronnie Barker). The serial parodies Hammer horror films with a Jack the Ripper-inspired menace, terrorising the genteel establishment of Victorian London in 1899. Stuffed full of glorious silliness and Milligan's carnivalesque surrealism, the serial's music draws heavily on tracks from the De Wolfe Music Library, following in the footsteps of Monty Python (the Pythons and the Rons sometimes using the same cues) and often editing multiple tracks together skilfully. Most of these tracks can be found on the De Wolfe album Movie Archive - Drama, which brings together dramatic film music from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. This video celebrates the serial's use of library music and moves in turn through Kenneth Essex's 'Desperate Moment' (used for the serial's opening titles), Peter Franklyn's 'Jackboot' (used most often for each episode's reprise showing the Phantom's previous victims beginning with the butler at Number 10), Ivor Slaney's 'A Matter of Urgency' (used for 'news report' and expository transitional sequences) followed by Slaney's 'Fog Bound' (heard when Inspector Corner goes to meet the Phantom in the graveyard at midnight) and Peter Franklyn's 'Sinister Street' (used for sequences of slow-building tension including the Inspector's discovery of the Phantom's coffin) then Dudley Matthew's 'Hasty Departure' (which plays during the Inspector's graveyard duel with the Phantom) before a final blow out from the closing brass of 'Desperate Moment'. The suite would not be complete without some of the Phantom's titular rasps. Although David Jason has said that he blew the Phantom's raspberries, the 1976 serial credits the raspberries to Spike Milligan and they sound very similar to some of the raspberries he blew for The Goon Show in the 1950s (the intake of breath and explosive grunt that launches the Phantom's deadliest winds is clearly Milligan!). Maybe Jason provided the raspberries for the earlier 1971 version of the story, which was made as part of the Ronnie Barker ITV comedy vehicle Six Dates With Barker - the mystery endures and is yet to blow away.
