Buy Song on iTunes : John Scott - 'The Good Word'

Memories of a gravel-voiced Mike Barratt, Sue Lawley ( not gravel-voiced ) and all the others who made Nationwide so fondly remembered by so many people.

  • They stopped using it. 1977. Out of the blue, they just actually stopped using it, and suddnely it was gone and you weren't going to hear it again. I mean, this theme, they actually stopped using. Actually stopped. Have you ever seen the like? Threw it away, took it out of our lives, changed it.

  • SiLoJayLo: Happy to report that Mike Barratt is still very much with us - aged 84 and living in Buckinghamshire. And on 22 February he'll be at the NFT in London talking about Nationwide!

  • @soundzok He's dead, now, though, isn't he?

  • Sue Lawley... has anyone got video of her doing wogan, when she said whoopie goldberg played an ugly black woman in the colour purple... i think that was the defining moment that lead to ricky gervias going after cring tv material

  • Proper blokes with big jaws, and wide lapels.. going out into the world with their hush-puppy shoes and foam microphone-covers.. Like an army of secondary-school geography-teachers..

    Not like the pasteurised ponces seen on the goggle nowadays..!

  • Michael Barrett, the presenter, was on a TV documentary the other day. He does't look that different!

  • i can remember the spinning nationwide logo but not the theme tune.

  • Great theme. And a brilliant show, as I remember.

  • @MYBIGKINDHEART Nationwide was a programme on the BBC that went out after the national news at teatime - it included your local BBC news and was a kind of magazine programme which prided itself in going all around the UK for news storys and opinion.

  • what was this show? great tune by the way, thats another thing that got crap now too is the music
