What's the Symphony on the Radio?

Hey classical music fans, help me out. About twenty minutes into this film Archie Rice is in his dressing room removing his makeup and on his radio we hear the finale of a classical symphony just before the BBC News comes on. Anyone know the name of the piece?

The music on the radio is the tail end of the fourth movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony #5 in E minor.

Thanks a million, Sluggo! It was so familiar but I just couldn't place it. Now I can sleep in peace.
