Later he would compose, arrange and conduct the music for the 1999 "Watership Down" TV series, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. An ambitious soundtrack album starring Stephen Gately from (Boyzone), Paul Carrack from (Mike and the Mechanics), Cerys Matthews from (Catatonia) and the RPO was recorded, but owing to disagreements with the record label, was never meaningfully released and subsequently acquired by Batt for his Dramatico label some years later. His orchestral suite "Watership Down" was created and recorded by the RPO at this time and is released on Dramatico, which was released in a 2 CD set with the soundtrack to Caravans.
