Even now it has the power to send chills down my spine. Exciting ones.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Apparently it was recorded as part of a music library, so making it stock music. Bizarrely, it was used as the title theme for the celebrity charades game show Give Us A Clue, in the early days, despite being already associated with Grange Hill. Just say no!

I'm rather glad I've kept my collection on a drive. The ones with Savile are blacklisted now, far as I know. And he had some rather good groups on. Not to speak of the times when he copresented with others.
Sorry, a little crossed wire I fear. I meant the Doctor Who, though TOTP is earworm status itself. And yeah, the whole Savile thing is rather silly. What he was found to have done is of course abominable, but it's like we're meant to erase him from history.
