anybody got the theme/opening to 'flying start'?

[realwales]

Who is the presenter here? No, Steve Davis never hosted Sporting Triangles. He did however host another sports quiz on Channel 4 in 1983.

@realwales The presenter is Andy Craig.

I'm sure Sporting Triangles was hosted by snooker ace Steve Davis at one point?

[njerzynek]

i've been looking for sporting triangles on youtube for ages, anybody remember a snooker game-think called 10 ball (nothing to do with 9 ball now) that was on ITV in the early 90's?

[GEORGIANGUSTIL]

sporting triangles is no match for channel 4's countdown :)

[col2006ie]

Central.  And no, I don't have the complete episode.

Was there ever any jingle on that particular ident? I don't recall hearing one from the videos I've seen on YouTube?

[col2006ie]

The revolving version of the chevron was more or less YTV's equivalent of the BBC1 globe, it didn't have a jingle and was mainly used for announcements into the next programmes; it was used in tandem with the "Liquid Gold" ident.
