    Better call Saul theme tune by Little Barrie - they made it into a full length song and put it on their album

  • Catie’s Amazing Machines (kids TV)  theme tune is by The Darkness, and they throw in riffs and licks all the way through the program.

    And for the sake of completeness that Nantucket Sleighride wasn’t written for Weekend World either. 
    Sleighride itself partly based on the 18th century Scottish folk song The Parting Glass.

    There is no 'H' in Aych, you know that don't you? ~ Wife

    And I'm showing my age now (physical and mental) but there was some very good music in this show:

    This is another of my favourites - from the TV show "Angels".



    There's a few versions of the tune on YT but this is the version I remember.

    If we talk about old TV shows in the Weary household that was very much a favourite of MrsTheWeary. She's a Brummy nurse ( probably a trainee at the time)and that was about nurses in Birmingham so she could relate. I used to watch it a bit and once saw a bunch of the cast walking around the Mander shopping centre in Wolverhampton which seemed quite exciting at the time. 

    One of the cast was Pauline Quirke who had hosted her own show ( bear with) Pauline's Quirkes which had a resident band Flintlock. As well as featuring comedian Sarah Pascoe's future dad on vocals they used to do a little play on song at the start of the show which just about fits the category here... ( FF to 33 seconds)….

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

    I do remember that show, but it's amazing to think they gave Pauline Quirke her own series when she was only 16 or 17.

    Just saw the sketch at the end there featuring Mike Read, a slimline Steve Wright (nice haircuts...), Linda Robson and Nula Conwell who used to play Viv Martella on the bill.  What an all star cast!

    I didn't watch the whole thing but Pauline has had quite an interesting career, why she was picked up for that I don't know. I think it was quite anarchic for it's day and apparently had a lot of complaints about sexual content ( references to snogging kind of thing I think).



    Anyway I don't think we've had this, the late great Tommy Tedesco on guitar I think and a guitar classic, who hasn't tried to play some version of this...

    Derek Pascoe went on to become a well respected jazz saxophonist did he not?  No indication of that destiny in the TV clip, but you can see the resemblance to his more famous daughter.

    That show must have been a Thames TV only thing, I don't remember it at all.  There were definitely some advantages to living in the North back then..
