A lesser but more mindboggling combination was the theme tune to Vic Reeves' "House Of Fools" which had previously been the tune for Anglia TV's football programme "Match Of The Week". Finally, "Gurney Slade" by Max Harris, theme tune to a surreal Anthony Newley comedy, was redeployed for the cuckoo clock cartoon segment of "Vision On".Arthur Nibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11547006132533866220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-63305863411023337952017-06-28T14:46:34.242+01:002017-06-28T14:46:34.242+01:00Thanks for that, Mark G - I had no idea it had pre...Thanks for that, Mark G - I had no idea it had previously been used in any other programme. <br /><br />Having said that, it's not uncommon for pieces of library music to have two uses. I seem to remember the theme from "Paul Merton - The Series" (with the hacking and coughing samples) turning up in a television advert ten years or so later, presumably because the ad company assumed most people had either forgotten about or never witnessed its original use. 23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-10308682344858418192017-06-28T13:49:48.565+01:002017-06-28T13:49:48.565+01:00Hi,

They had about six anagrams per show and they would play the intro each time while the two teams would ponder what "Was Shod" was an anagram of - then we'd sit back in our chairs and go "argh" as the other team buzzed in, then we'd sit forward and ponder some more when they had suggested "Showaddywaddy?" <br /><br />Mark Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11979090908216804429noreply@blogger.com
