My dad Paul Britain played the bass on this track, and also supported Jeff Wayne when he was on tour in 1981. The piece is actually called 'Race to freedom 1978' and was an adaptation from producer Paul Scott of legendary Decca records. Its a G with an A, then with a break on the D chord.

Feel sorry for today's youngsters never knowing the joy of a Saturday afternoon in the 70s and 80s. Fantastic memories.

The ITV7 , Kent Walton and the classifieds. What a time to be alive.

Just been in tears listening to this & bringing back the memories. They certainly don't know how to make theme music like this nowadays.

Beautiful ❤️

Ray Shulman of Gentle Giant perhaps?

Liked both themes brings back happy memories

I was 13 years old and still remember these programs good times 👍

Excellent remake 😊

Rest in peace Dickie Davies you are irreplaceable,

Aways loved this theme

Blimey, I still remember being a kid way back in the late 70's, watching World of Sport ending with the wrestling, followed by Worzel Gummidge, Dick Barton Special agent and later on 321 with Ted Rogers. Aaah special memories and happy times.

Yes was it Cup Soccer he never said?

Have a good week till next week

BLOODY AWFUL...but i do like jeff waynes jubilation lol

Much prefer the older theme with the light aircraft.

Brings back memories

The original one is The Real World Of Sport theme

They knew how to compose great TV themes in those days.....

It`s crap

OK, so it's not the more iconic WoS theme, but good grief I flipping love it. Jeff Wayne totally nailed a bunch of TV themes around this time.

Remember watching this round my nuns house every Saturday, when the "Pool" results came on we used to try to predict the scores

RIP Dickie Davies

As a kid i always the remember tha American footballer rolling over, besides the point what an uplifting theme tune & RIP Dickie Davis

Farewell Dickie Davies!

I remember those great times in the early 80's getting up to a full English breakfast with "Sunblest Bread", Starfleet, Metal Micky etc on the T.V followed by "Tiswas" up until lunch time then"World Of Sport." R.I.P Dickie Davies.

We're all sort of adjacent to themes that we grew up with -- yes, those that are older will prefer the theme they grew up with, but - well, I and many others here remember this HUGELY. It's a brilliantly exciting bit of work. It also hugely reminds me of those long lost Saturday afternoons after my brother and I being dragged through various shops and markets and we got back home in the early afternoon, with some pasties and a jam doughnut. And then this started, We listened to the theme, watched some of it for a while when eating our brilliant lunch, and, well, just went up to our bedroom to play some games on the ZX Spectrum.

Those were the days of sports theme tunes.

The first few seconds continued to be used as the intro music for the Results service after WoS was axed. Maybe up until about 1987.

Thanks

Synthesis excellence ! Jeff Wayne ; War of the worlds meets sports

I don't care what anyone says, I think this is brilliant. Stop comparing it to the previous theme.

Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers made the highlights!!!!
