That the Crystal Maze theme should be on the list is a pretty short debate. A longer debate is whether Richard O'Brien was a better host than the under-rated Ed Tudor Pole. Will you START THE FANS PLEASE?!

All together now: dance your cares away...
I'd never considered that before - quite the dichotomy.

Soul Limbo by Booker T & the MGs was used by the Beeb as their cricket theme for ages. Might still be for all I know, but I won't be tuning in to find out.

Waking up at 3:30am tomorrow for the #AustralianGP, and for me #F1 will never have a theme song that just works as well as Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. I can almost hear Murray Walker! Sky have just switched to some awful racket from the F1 Movie, and it's terrible.

One that's very dear to my heart: there have been many Top of the Pops themes over the decades but for me The Wizard was THE #TOTP theme, many a Thursday evening wasted watching everything from ABC to ZZ Top mime badly. Now a Friday evening ritual!

Grandstand had a fantastic tune which works perfectly as a sports theme, with the added bonus that the VT editors often timed the big bass drum with some accident or other: an athlete falling, a rally car crashing, or in this case a camera getting knocked over.

Whooaa! I've seen Omid Djalili's standup live, and been at several TV show recordings with him. Always thought he was a decent chap. His self-serving attempt at justifying playing the bonesaw festival was bad enough, but this conspiracy nonsense is something else.

So America's a massive great mess
But the thing I must now confess
Is I saw JD Vance
Pull down his big pants
And get banned from Chepstow DFS
Tell me about it.
Thirty-odd years since I left, and never once have I had to solve a quadratic equation.
