Best theme tune since Airwolf and The Littlest Hobo.

Cool, do you have the rest of the vid? I had it on VHS and watched it loads - a great tour.

Loving Phil's Christmas set-up, be great to share a cheeky sherry with him.

Great. Isn't that Antoine de Caunes though?

oooh  ahhh oooh ahhh oooh ahhh... aching buttocks aching thighs unseen crowds unseen skies between the shoulders lakes of fire stinging eyes on the spinning tyre calves and heart will explode grip the handles eat the road kilo meters whirring chains from Revel to Ax 3 Domaines the body's racked the body begs pressing down on un-stretched legs far beyond un-melted snow want to stop but miles to go... oooh ahhh oooh ahhh oooh ahhh...

Phil Liggett = Legend

This video is too much! The sacred theme tune. A relatively youthful Phil. His jumper. His tears on the Champs Elysees. But perhaps best of all, him literally closing the book on the previous smallest win margin.

@phezza

right there on both counts! the theme for this is timeless just like the snooker theme. bbc know they wouldn't get away with pissing around with the motd theme and it should have been the same for those two an' all

Fantastic music, Phil (the legend) Liggett. Shame about his no dad jumper but would love to see the rest of the story.
