Sounds like a take on Mars from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite in which case it'll be hard to pin down as it's been used and riffed on by a lot of composers for a lot of TV shows and films!

Yes it’s definitely that piece, thanks. I’m sure I recognise it from a film in the 80’s.

I haven't heard that in a while - I love Holst!

Had a quick Google and came up with a rather lengthy list of possibilities:

I recognise that piece from the Only Fools and Horses episode Fatal Extraction. It’s the one where there are riots on the estate. I think it plays when Del drives Raquel and Damien back to the estate and they can’t get through the crowd.

Is the film you’re thinking of The Right Stuff (1983) ?
