I think this deserves posting as an excellent remix of many of the themes of the era...

Ah give us a clue was done by Alan Braden, I believe Thames music director at the time, un- Surprisingly there was a good number of Music directors at many ITV companies that created pieces: Such as John patrick who was ATV/Central guy and created Original Celb squares and of course Bullseye, alas he does not seem to care about his past job,.
I do really love this version of the theme
for news its this nice piece:
But to prove I don't dis-like new music......................

This has to be considered a top TV theme as well:
Totally going off topic, but I can't help thinking of these quotes from ISIHAC when seeing Give us a Clue.
"Let's move on to Sound Charades. Listeners may not be aware that this was developed from the old TV show called Give Us A Clue, where the teams mimed titles of films or books against a strict time limit. Possibly the most versatile performer was Lionel Blair, and no one will ever forget the occasion he was given A Town Like Alice, when he chose to do a silent impression of the author. Such was the performance, Una Stubbs gasped in amazement when she saw Neville Shute in Lionel's face..."

Originally, Give Us A Clue had the same theme tune as Grange Hill, albeit a somewhat different arrangement.

I don't even remember this when it was first broadcast. I have YouTube to thank for being able to hear this for the first time a few months ago. It's only a shame it is so short. It also makes you realise how meh the Donny Osmond era theme tune is.
Reminds me a little of this too, even though now I have heard them side by side on the same page, they sound nothing alike.
Also, I'll take any excuse to post Libby Roberts Dancers - All Night Holiday 1986 as it makes me happy.
