Some mothers do 'ave 'em

Following the recent death of composer Ronnie Hazlehurst, I found an interesting story today on the BBC news website. It relates to the signature music for the 1970s comedy "Some mothers do 'ave 'em" which, before the days of multi-media communications and hundreds of digital and satellite TV channels, was essential Saturday viewing for millions of the British public. It starred Michael Crawford as the accident prone Frank Spencer and Michelle Dotrice as Frank's ever-suffering wife Betty. Anyhow, it turns out that Ronnie Hazlehurst performed a really clever trick when he composed the theme music to the programme, and incorporated the morse code translation of "some mothers do 'ave 'em" into the music. Don't believe me? Well check out this picture:

Clever stuff! Check out the full story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7026637.stm
