My guess to the theme tune composers are ' Mr Miller & Mr Porter ' as It sounds like one of their creations.


Thanks for the info. Do you know if its possible to listen to their work online?

This is the link for some of the Tv Shows that they have composeed for.

They have not got Showdown on yet.

Maybe drop them a line to see if they did actually compose it and to see when they are going to put it online.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it is them as Mr Miller and Mr Porter composed the theme to the Foundation's revamp of 'Finders Keepers' .

You never know they may have done.

I will have a listen to the Finders Keepers theme tune when its next on.

Mr Miller & Mr Porter have done loads for The Foundation.

You can always tell one of their creations as they carry mostly the same elements.

Some of them are quite bouncy and catchy like Crazy Cottage.

Granada Kids and The Foundation will make a new weekday afternoon comedy game-show for CITV fronted by the two hyena puppets that star in Holly and Stephen’s Saturday Showdown. The 15 x 30 minute series will see the puppets sending up the game-show genre, including games like ‘The Wheel of Misfortune’ and ‘The Price is Wrong’. It will air in 2007.

I thought they would end up having a spin-off sooner or later, as Bro & Bro did as well. I admit I would have preffered it to be something more like Wolf It than a spoof gameshow, but you can't win them all.

I've just listened to the WOW theme tune and it sounds quite familiar to Saturday Showdown theme but less up beat. Also i tried e-mailing them and it bounced back.

It's a shame that your email bounced back - Why not try to email Ged or Vanessa at The Foundation.

Also does anyone know the whereabouts of top funny fella Peter Cocks ?

The CITV page at Wikipedia and the two threads on here have dropped the lowercase 'i' in CITV

There's too many cartoons on the CiTV channel version at least ditch one or two of them and save the studio space for Showdown Extra where they could show some behind the scenes stuff like they did on The Saturday Show extra.

Girls aloud are on next week and apparently 'performing' their new song live in the kitchen according to the promo is this a sign that the show is slowly turning back in to MOM?.

I loved Scratches gag "We're making way for the grand pricks..erm i mean grand prix" also has sniff been axed? surley his puppeteer wouldnt come in to do one bit?

I dont like they way they ended the ITV 1 version of showdown on the citv channel, they could of at least stayed in the studio or cut to an ident while waiting to finish on ITV 1.

Hmm. Recreating old game show ideas in a different way and doing it in a different style.... Wonder where i've seen that one recently :/

God, they really can't help taking ideas can they, no wonder everyone in the industry is talkin about the theiving Rolling Eyes

Now Bungalow has finished, where will they get their ideas now.

Anyone know why Sniff has absent since the show 2?. Has he been axed or is the person who play's him is ill?
