This is off the scifi trial, but do any of our UK pals recall a documentary called "Lord Mountbatten: A Man for the Century" that was shown in the late 60's early 70's? I saw this as a young boy, and I have been wanting to watch it again for some time - but cannot find a copy any place in the US or online. Long shot, but maybe one of your know about it. Thanks!
It's a 1968 mini tv series. I'll search for you over here in the meantime try this link.

A march used to be played at the beginning of this documentary that I really love. I assumed it was a march from the UK - but just learned otherwise. While watching a 'Victory Day' parade from Red Square - I heard the march played. Some further research led me to the name of the march: March of Preobrazhensky Life Guard Regiment. This was the regiment that guarded the Tsar. ((Interesting for an old Imperial march to be played in celebration of a Soviet victory.)) :)
Lord Mountbatten's family connections with the Tsar must be why they chose this march for the introduction music in the documentary.
((sorry for the non-SciFi - but geeky nevertheless digression)).
Interesting and you do get history geeks to lol
