Elgar's Cello Concerto as the opening theme music?


What was the name of the Masterpiece Theater production, about an English priest and his family, that used Elgar's Cello Concerto as the opening theme music?

I can't confirm it but a GOOGLE search indicates it was used in a Masterpiece series titled SHARP'S PERIL.

Do you mean The Barchester Chronicles?

I know this is a long time later, but the programme is called "Paradise Postponed" and it starred Michael Horden as the vicar. It was written by John Mortimer, who also wrote "Rumpole of the Bailey".
