aahhhhh nothing says "come on son its school in the morning" better than this. 10pm on a sunday night on itv in the 1980,s.

[@themickace]

My exact memory of this!

[@alexbulgo7848]

Gave me the same traumatic flashbacks!

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+Richard Upton on Sunday nights (school nights) i was in bed at 10pm and i remember hearing the theme because my nan had the tv loud

[@GarethAlan81]

Haha. Exactly the same for me. 😆

[@kevvo26]

Absolutely spot on haha

[@dweir2584]

These are so ridiculously creative, then and now. Just a joy to watch and a testament to the craft in British television.

[@jamesdelboy]

I was normally still up when this came on due to Spitting Image being on b4 it if I remember correctly

[@corradobertorelli2186]

Memories of Melvyn Bragg's puppet constantly shoving a Vicks Sinex up his nose.

[@jamesdelboy]

@@corradobertorelli2186 Yes he was good

[@normanbell-br7nf]

got this on vinyl

[@stephencampbell2115]

Best episode was Bragg getting hammered with Francis Bacon

[@baconsandwich2007]

Best part of the show!

[@Dan_Blick1986]

I grew up with the version of the theme tune at 1:27, with the individual letters appearing and random (in my eyes) people clapping along, which always made me chuckle! As for the theme tune itself, one word - iconic. Thanks for uploading this, great memories! ☺️

I kept hearing the one Stuart Ashen mention this show when he takes a look at POP Station consoles.

[@mattpoulter1832]

For some reason this used to be played on the tape deck at primary school in music lessons

[@Xanderall]

Well, it's based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Variation on Paganini's "24th Caprice", so it's a legit composition. The whole album is great

[@CherryColaCake]

i have a distinct memory of this music playing in 2014, and it gave me lots of nostalgia as it was the music of an object show content creator's intro i believe they made the color challenge

[@garyhunt8067]

Didn't know they did one about James Bond

[@jamesbondiv4072]

fantastic vid!!

[@Broadercasting]

Serious arts TV before the budget squeezes. #YouGetWhatYouPayFor

[@dweir2584]

TV budgets are sooo cheap now unless you are big drama or nature.

[@melissawright1979]

Can't find this version of this piece of music anywhere lol x

[@spudhead169]

I believe it's Andrew Lloyd Weber's variation of 24th Caprice by Paganini. I don't think there's a full length version of the SBS theme, I believe it was done specially for the show.

[@PaphosLife]

This was Liszt's take on Paganini's original violin piece. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXPPl2uPapdqers

[@Dee3shaw]
