I once had the pleasure of meeting her daughter, Kirsty, back in the mid-1990s when we were working in the same market research place as telephone interviewers. Lovely girl she was!
@@rareblues78daddyWhile not gainsaying the accuracy of the initial observation (Parkinson, Family Fortunes a little later), in this instance, as with FF, I *believe* the intention was to re-create the kind of sepia tones the old cinemas used to have (the big ol', super-picture house boys), and in that respect at least, they do maintain a bit of historical interest.
@@rareblues78daddy Oh yes. Yes, if the 70s could be characterised by shit-coloures taupe, the 80s were the time of bright electric pinks & blues (Billy Connolly: 'My manager said, 'Bill - do it right, and one day you'll have your name in pink! Who did that?!').
I'm unsuccessfully trying to find an early video of this without "Is this the Grange Hill theme" etc. Everyone on here has the internet 😂 To save people looking : a) It is the same music used for Grange Hill, but rerecorded for this show. b) The original was recorded a few years earlier than Grange Hill started, and not specifically for it. c) It was composed by Alan Hawkshaw and it's called Chicken Man. d) It was recorded for a music library for TV producers to find music for their shows, so it could have been used as incidental music on The Sweeney (which might have been interesting) So, to sum up, it wasn't written for Grange Hill, nor this of course. I find it a bit curious it was used here when GH was already very popular. Another good example is Approaching Menace, the theme to Mastermind. Monty Python used it for a sketch, but slightly before that, and only a one-off.
Grange Hill Theme !!
Spell roof!!!! That wouldn't be allowed today!
Roy Kinnear is hilarious 😂

Ah, 1979, when colour television programmes had programme's sets in beige and brown!
All of the '70s were brown. ALL OF THEM.
...or Avocado Green.

@@Maundervision Ungh. The '80s. Teal and pink... and neon. Let's not speak of it.
The members of the public 😅😅😅
I knew the male guy would have a moustache before even seeing him
some quality guessing from mainly George, and a bit from Roy and Graham won this one for the guys.
Fun Fact: George Layton appeared in Confessions Of A Driving Instructor (Which Una Stubbs had to mime) playing the part of Tony Bender.

Wow the male member of the public really decided to dress for the occasion!
surprise the BBC didnt sue ITV for using their "Grange hill theme" on this show!
Wow! A medallion man on the mens side. 😆
It says feat Lisa Goddard, but Lisa isn't in this episode
Thanks for pointing this out! I have updated the title :)
Who made the set? Terrible job
What were the budgets like for stuff like that I wonder?
Isn't that the theme to Grange Hill?
I was going to ask the same thing . It does sound like it . If it is library music it can be bought and used by anyone
Its definitely modified version of the theme
It’s Chicken Man by Alan Hawkshaw. Alternate version library music.
It sure is and a good theme tune it is too.
@@johnmc3862 Also the basis for "Charmschool" by Goldie Lookin' Chain.
A lot of people love this, apparently.
Fourth word is driving. Over to the men for a bonus…Secrets of an American Housewife….WTF?
