Now For Something Different

[jambutty]

Now that your brain cells are beginning to function again after the festive celebrations do you fancy doing a quiz on BBC Radio and TV programme theme tunes?

You do? Good! Click on http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/ntp1.html to listen to the 10 tunes.

You get ONE POINT for naming the programme that the tune is associated with.
You get TWO POINTS for naming the tune.
You get FIVE POINTS for naming the performer.

Caution - not all signature tunes have a tune name or performer.

My source is official BBC records and tapes so all answers need to correspond with the details on those. (Er! More or less.)

The quiz closes at midnight GMT on the Wednesday 10th January 2007.

The results will be published within a day or two afterwards.

The three people with the HIGHEST number of points will get some Karma from me.
The three people with the LOWEST number of points will be obliged to give me some Karma.

If fewer than six people have a go then only the HIGHEST and LOWEST will qualify to receive Karma or be obliged to give me some Karma.

Now click on http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/ntp1.html to listen to the 10 tunes.

Please post your results in this thread in this format:
Programme Title – Tune Name – Performer
E.g.
01 Athletics - World Series - Keith Mansfield
02
03 Muffin The Mule - We Want Muffin - Annette Mills
04
and so on.

Good luck!

So you have 4 points shillelagh. Good effort but sadly the only one. But you get the Karma for at least having a go.

I can do another one if people are interested. It's up to you.

Hey jambutty, that looked like fun. I'm surprised you didn't get more involvement! Obviously I'm out as I'd never heard of anything other than Fawlty Towers.

I say give it another go and see if you get people noticing it. There is so much other "stuff" in Anything Goes afraind neat things like this can get overlooked.

Also appreciate your well thought out contributions to Accyweb!

Thank you jambutty for the karma. I only saw it last night and thought i'd have a go. Maybe advertised it instead of something different as a title maybe you should have put themes quiz.

Thank you for doing it though Jambutty.
