Hmmmm, if I go and edit my original post then the proper url is there, I tried both the long and short version url.


I've just gone back and re pasted it and it still doesn't work. It does in preview I think (I'm on my phone now so can't check this)

I think it's a case of a misplaced media tag:

For lovers of theme tunes, this channel has piano versions of many famous British TV theme tunes, amongst other stuff.

Their latest video is great, 13 BBC Sport theme tunes in 3 minutes
Skid and Steve in Pudsey gave kudos

Courtesy of Neil, the late bulletin on BBC1 on Christmas Eve 1993, with Philip Hayton:

Hayton had, of course, been displaced from the One O'Clock News by John Tusa and Ed Stourton eight months earlier. From what I hear, he wasn't happy about this - nor did he really enjoy hosting North West Tonight.

Genome reveals he presented Breakfast News on a number of occasions during 1994, before joining BBC World when it launched in January 1995. How would he have felt about getting up early, then?

An episode of the CITV programme 'Finders Keepers' as shown recently on Challenge.

This us actually the first episode of Series 6, notable for a distinct change in format, and the addition of Gladiators's Diane Youdale as host.



It really is quite dreadful compared to previous series. Firstly the garage set with two sets of raids which last far too long. Then the pit of oil with the reassuring warning of 'Don't try this at home' as kids retrieve such kid friendly items such as hammers and hacksaws.

Then the familiar room raids. Only they've messed with these as well by making both teams do it at the same time. And there's an awful split screen graphic which makes it hard to see anything going on, and also both teams are talking at the same time and it appears they've quietened the audio for this reason, so you truly have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Then the final super search which is the only round which hasn't actually been tampered with.

Oh wait... actually they have by just saying what items it is that they are looking for rather than giving out clues. Diane also defeats the purpose of the show by finding some of the items herself when neither kid has even come close to finding them. And watch one kid's fury when Diane loses one of the cards so she can't actually tell them what it is that they are looking for.

Overall it was terrible and rightly got axed after this series. One of many great TV shows which suffered from the itchy feet of producers and wanting to make a change for changes sake.
