Broadcast at Closedown on ITV in London on Friday 12 February 1982, Ian Partridge and Jennifer Partridge perform Under the Greenwood Tree, a setting of Shakespeare by Ivor Gurney.

Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird's throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to live in the sun,
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleased with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
