You really can’t give a better tv tune from the day

[John Bennett]

I sometimes do ok in one round of a pub quiz, I guess.
Yeah, it was Crimewatch above. Loads of TV stuff was 'library music'

I think I Googled Alan Hawkshaw after his death was in the news and realised who's dad he was.

...Ulysees 31, but I think this was the catchiest of those cartoons:

Just a passing mention to Ulysses 31 and you play Willy fucking Fogg on the Jukebox?

I never realised that about Pac Land. I knew for the World version they changed Pac-Man's look and added his family and pets based on the cartoon but I always assumed the Japanese game came first of all.

The Hanna Barbera cartoon was '82, predating it by three years!

Everyone knows all the rawk soundtracks from back then, but Willie Fog doesn’t get enough love 😀

To be honest it's been stuck in my head for forty years. And thanks to your link I've now realised I've had the words wrong all along.

And to tie-in with the rave thread:

(written by Alan Hawkshaw, dad of Kirstie, the shaven headed lady who sang It's a Fine Day with Opus III)
(which was actually a cover version of an acapella 1983 song)

I can't see a sausage on a fork without hearing that in my head.
