I was just wondering if anyone else has seen Bill Bailey's p-take of the CBS and BBC News themes in his latest DVD, part troll. Rather amusing, and catchy theme too, lol.

It's bloody great in the theatre, let me tell you. The whole place reverberating to the BBC News theme is slightly surreal. Especially with the titles being projected in the background. Very good!

Brilliant at first I couldn't see what he meant but then got it.

I also like his ballad that he sings at the end of the first part of the stand up gig

Saw this when it was on Channel 4 on Friday. Very good! BBC News - News on acid!

Have you ever seen the bit he does about the Countdown theme where he talks about the composer having a short attention span hence the weird ending... it's really funny.

He also does a good sketch about 70s cop show music.

The "missing bit deemed unsuitable for children" from the Magic Roundabout theme tune is great too.
