In another thread there was a link that led me to finding these from my childhood:



Which TV themes remind you of your childhood?


I used to love The Flashing Blade it was cool as. When I was a bit older I also used to love The Water Margin, everybody else used to go on about Monkey which I thought was real kiddy shite and nowhere near as good.



I also remember the start of Survivors and how it used to scare the hell out of me with guy all in bandages and the creepy music. My older brother always used to pretend he was "Survivor Man" and scare the crap out of me, tw*t!



Still I was only 5 so no wonder.

Oh and Inspector Morse, or 'Inspector Morose' as we called it:

There is of course now 'Lewis', 'Endeavour' and apparently something else new coming along, but its just that, new.

What The Papers say.... I cannot find a decent video of the tune on Youtube, in fact, I don't know what it is called, but we did study it in Music at School many moons ago:

This (complete with the old Channel 4 indent):

If anyone can tell me what it is and give a decent video of it, I would be most grateful!! Wikipedia gives various answers as seemingly they used different tunes over the years, but none sound like the tune above.

Thanks

In the Falklands, the locals dressed like Benny, so with the Service sense of humour they were called "Bennies"

Command received complaints and the edict was issued that calling the locals "Bennies" was unacceptable and would stop immediately

It did, and the locals became known as "Stills"

IN other words , whatever Command said they were Still Bennies

I used to work with a bloke who'd been in the RAF, and he told me that as well. :biggrin:
