Anyone else see it on BBC1 tonight?

Bits of the tune play a couple of times but there is quite a long bit near the end with kids dancing round a Maypole. Played off a record and sounds like a single melodeon

Just wondering what it may be

I don't recognise it.

The BBC subtitles unhelpfully called it: "Jaunty Music".

Knowing that the BBC try to keep the music topical (to the show). Any similarity to 'Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs' Seaside Shuffle (written Jona Lewie) must be accidental. But that is what I hear.
