BBC Russian Service
The soundtrack by Vladimir Dashkevich to "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson", a series of Soviet television films produced between 1979 and 1986, was inspired by this composition. The arrangement by Henry Wood for trumpet, string orchestra and organ was known to the Soviet public as the signature tune of the shortwave BBC Russian Service, and an orchestral piece in a similar style was created which could be identified with the spirit of the British Empire.
