[Spooks] V1 Skylark is very cheeky...

[Chris Smolinski]

FWIW, I played a recording of V1 to a co worker of mine once, who is 
a native of Romania. He quickly identified the tune, and said it was 
very well known, it was often played at weddings, etc.

He also said something else interesting, that the man reading the 
numbers sounded like a Romanian who had been living in the UK for a 
number of years, based on the accent.
