Shame about the shortened music, but then again the whole show felt like it went by rather quickly, even if it is only 22 minutes minus adverts.

The end credits were a bit dull and uninspired, standard white text scrolling over black background fare. Even Countdown roll their credits over a shot of the studio nowadays.

Well that is pretty good, but not a record as set by TNA

I'm sure this has probably been mentioned already but there's a clean copy of the Blockbusters sting that you could record from the online game:

I'm not sure the solo player was focused on the fact he was playing from top to bottom, when he chose a letter to the left of the one he'd just got correct!

And Mayo's repeated use of the word 'hexagon' started to grate a bit. It's just a clunky sounding word when it's repeated frequently. (What did Bob Holness used to call them? 'Letters'? I'm pretty sure he never used the word 'hexagons').

I with they hadn't put that continuity women on during the credits, would have been nice to hear a full clean ending credits..


The Anytime+ version has clean end credits (and no 'in memory' slate).

I don't know, I reckon you could make a cartoon about them... Smile

If anyone's able to record that and share it, that would be great. Thanks.

That's a standard style of end credits which is used for the majority of Sky programmes.

I actually did get around to recording it before but was away so didn't get the chance to upload it here. My version has been edited so as to exclude the 'bloop' noise that occurs when you press the button to play the game (which is when the music starts) so hopefully it will be of use to someone anyway.

And I realise that is the standard Sky credits, but if they're going to bring back the handjive can't they just have credits rolling over the shot of the studio on the normal endings?
