"Devil's Galop" is a piece of light music composed by Charles Williams. It became famous as the theme tune to the radio serial Dick Barton - Special Agent. The name "galop" of the title refers to the galop dance as opposed to a horse's gallop.
It has since been used in a number of productions, often to give a sense of dramatic urgency to a chase scene. As well as being the theme for the BBC Light Programme's serial Dick Barton, other appearances include Dad's Army, Dangermouse, The Goodies and the Goon Show.
