It'll Be Alright on the Night theme tune (1990)

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Thanks Tom Scott!

[@JorgeHernandez-dq9iy]

Literally dis

[@danieljarvis7176]

We are such big geeks

[@Evensteven69]

They don't write theme music like this anymore. Brilliant!

[@Larry]

Yeah, a real cock up.

[@darrenclements]

Indeed. This is a memorable one, with the melodic hook and the moody sax

[@darrenclements]

Indeed, often with no titles as such either, rather a few seconds if titles card and something bland and unimpressive underneath. Unlike the creativity of the past, e.g. Ron Grainer's original Doctor Who theme with the radiophonic score.

[@catbat06]

That tease of a saxaphone, never giving you that high til the end

[@caddelworth]

Perhaps the idea was that the sax player is hitting the "wrong" notes each time through until finally, he hits the "right" notes (an octave higher?) the last time around?

[@johnluke659]

Swear to god...... this is the best theme tune I’ve ever heard ! And is genuinely the reason why I learned to play the sax 😂. This was the first thing I learned to play

[@dindings]

Got the sheet music?

[@garethstephenlankshear9379]

I'm still a big fan of these shows and love the theme tune

[@jeremyveale6339]

Please look in to learning the sax part from Animal Hospital.

[@darrenclements]

It is just the right mix of upbeat and moody, with the sax solo and the minor chords punctuating the melody

[@rachaeladams8449]

Would you do a video of yourself playing this theme please

[@ForwardSynthesis]

Somehow this feels like a nice relaxing end of the world song.

[@Station_Master_13]

Total destruction around the world and you're vibing to this sweet saxophone

[@ElysiumCreator]

I can just imagine someone on a garden chair, drinking a cup of tea while a nuke detonates in the distance while this is playing

[@MatthewT394]

i guess you can say that was a big cockup, eh?

[@JamesWho1]

While all the cock ups are happening around you

[@djl9204]

CLASSIC!! brings back all the memories from growing up in the 90s. denis norden what a legend he was!

[@lisacoe435]

RIP Denis Norden and also RIP Saturday night TV of the 90s ❤️😢

[@TheVideogamemaster9]

@@callmemasfer that's what she said UwU

[@christopherdrennan4947]

they'll probably play this at Denis Nordens funeral.

[@afuzzyduck]

every single speech at the wake will be interrupted by the speaker either corpsing or looking straight to camera and going "fuck"

[@johncooper1965]

Maybe an orchestral version.

[@SinisterSwiss]

Better get those speakers ready!

[@anicetune]

Right after the bloke reading the eulogy slips and falls off the stage.

[@showbizsimon]

I was there and they did actually!

[@andrewpepper3145]

Is anyone else just immediately back in simpler times the moment they hear this? I want this played at my funeral 🤣

[@fraserkatie]

Rest in peace Denis Norden!

[@davetech9403]

It’s really teasing that high A (F# in alto) all the way through

[@pickledegg1989]

The sound of the 90s.

[@SimonThrossellFilms]

Merry Christmas Tom Scott

[@anonymousbrit93]

They should play this before every government update concerning COVID-19...

[@rachaeladams8059]

Can't mistake this theme tune

[@ChocolateTampon]

"If like me, you're one of those people..." - Denis Norden's catchphrase on Spitting Image

[@MileyCyrusno1]

He remains the man I grew up with and I miss him so much 🙏💔

[@nigelmurphy6761]

Got to admit that whenever I think of TV blooper shows this is the first music that immediately comes to mind.

[@bangersnmash4856]

Still the best version for the show, I love the middle 8

[@hadorstapa]

Middle 8s are great!

[@lorenzof4787]

I was not born in the UK and never watched this show, I love this theme though. Sounds like the 90s theme song

[@cookric555]

Its a bloopers show theme tune from itv

[@darrenclements]

For a tv clip show, such a great theme- I can imagine it being played in a bar with low lighting and the moody sax🎷

[@JamesWho1]

a jazz bar 😁😆

[@lisarichards2915]

Takes me back I was 10 in 1990 I'm 42 now lol 0:47

[@cliveeardley7556]

Fabulous theme played from 6 onwards.

[@XaviMacBash]

well its that time of the year of again, merry christmas Denis Norden.

[@michaelreeves4529]

one of the best theme tunes for an icon like Denis Norden Tvs Legend for a show where things went wrong on reality TV

[@christopherdrennan5819]

In memory of Denis Norden.

[@slowdude971]

Merry Christmas Denis Norden

[@creynolds094]

The "late stage Fifteen to One" version of this was retained for the 2018 series of It'll Be Alright on the Night", hosted by the voice of comedian and author David Walliams!

[@vincentvega9863]

Forgot all about this tune. Didn't even realise it's played in sax, which I learn. Now I just need to find the sheet music, this will sound awesome on my tenor!

[@thomashall4886]

RIP Denis Norden.

[@christopherdrennan3511]

Ladies and Gentleman Denis Norden!

[@darrenclements]

Saluting the late Denis Norden, master of mishaps and compere of cock-ups.

[@rachaeladams8059]

I wonder who actually played the saxophone for this infamous and iconic theme tune

[@christopherdrennan5819]

Rod Van Argent and Peter Hook did the theme tune to this

[@caddelworth]

@@christopherdrennan5819 Erm, _close_ - but as stated above, the composers are Rod Argent and Peter van Hooke. Rod is a keyboard player and Peter is a drummer, so presumably the sax was played by a session musician. If I had to hazard a guess about the sax player's identity, I'd plump for the late Raphael Ravenscroft (the "Baker Street" guy).

[@Necroneer]

Okay Count Binface.

[@johncooper1965]

What was the track name called and could it be played on Heart Radio?

[@anicetune]

Denis Norden playing the saxophone

[@MileyCyrusno1]

Are u joking ?

[@christopherdrennan5819]

Rod Argent and Peter Van Hook did this theme.

@@MileyCyrusno1 I believe he is joking or at least I hope so. Hehe. 😄
