There have been several times that Morse has been used in TV programs in a way that only the cognoscenti would notice. The most famous example was the BBC TV Series about Inspector Morse - where the theme tune used Morse in Morse code as its starting theme and rhythm. Having had to learn Morse a _long_ time in the past for a license, it was quite surprising how the message got through so fast subliminally . However, things have now descended to a new level though

I do know of a few movies that have CW in them.. I cannot remember them right now for some reason.

I also know that in some movies where they show people or sat's in outer space.. they use the RTTY mode sound as sound effects.

That's not all there was to Morse. The rhythm to the backing music would spell out 'guilty' when the murderer made their first appearance in the early programmes. I won a lot of beer from the Morse watching group I used to hang out with in the 1980s...!
