Just been in tears listening to this & bringing back the memories. They certainly don't know how to make theme music like this nowadays.

Brings back memories
@nigewalker-mead6263June 5, 2024 - 8:15 pm

They knew how to compose great TV themes in those days.....

It`s crap
@80ssynthfan48June 5, 2024 - 8:15 pm
OK, so it's not the more iconic WoS theme, but good grief I flipping love it. Jeff Wayne totally nailed a bunch of TV themes around this time.

Remember watching this round my nuns house every Saturday, when the "Pool" results came on we used to try to predict the scores

We're all sort of adjacent to themes that we grew up with -- yes, those that are older will prefer the theme they grew up with, but - well, I and many others here remember this HUGELY.
It's a brilliantly exciting bit of work.
It also hugely reminds me of those long lost Saturday afternoons after my brother and I being dragged through various shops and markets and we got back home in the early afternoon, with some pasties and a jam doughnut. And then this started, We listened to the theme, watched some of it for a while when eating our brilliant lunch, and, well, just went up to our bedroom to play some games on the ZX Spectrum.

Those were the days of sports theme tunes.
@80ssynthfan48June 5, 2024 - 8:15 pm
The first few seconds continued to be used as the intro music for the Results service after WoS was axed. Maybe up until about 1987.

I don't care what anyone says, I think this is brilliant. Stop comparing it to the previous theme.
@bruce5799June 5, 2024 - 8:15 pm
I do miss Saturday afternoon Motocross and Speedway on tv. World of Sport and Grandstand were excellent viewing
@bruce5799June 5, 2024 - 8:15 pm
