Rather have this tune than the later tune!!
-
Was that applause at the end or had Mildred just put the chips on?
-
Why can thay not make good old comedy any more.
-
@kamelion7 You're not serious are you? Roger Webb was a good composer/arranger/musician, but his theme didn't have enough 'oomph' to carry a show like this. Johnny's broad theme carried the broad huimour much better.
-
LOL i know some peeps just like this Hahahaha Lovin lovin it!
-
Still a great classic,!
-
This theme should not have been replaced for the less up tempo one which followed it. It was far more suitable for what was a fairly madcap show.
-
@jaytee414 Well i remember the other superior theme tune. This one is absolute rubbish, very generic and utterly forgettable. No wonder they replaced it
-
Me too. I'll never know what possessed Peter Frazer Jones to change from this bouncy big band theme by the legendary Johnny Hawksworth (he of Thames TV ident music fame) and go with that naff Roger Webb track.
-
I seem to recall some of the old Nokia mobile phones (e.g. 3310) came with this as one of the ring tones :-)
I fully agree with you Mate, it is a great theme tune and a wonder comedy show! It better than the America verison called The Ropers, which failed miserably
