I remember as a kid trying to be in time with this tune for hours on end.... Here I stand 20 years later, finally able to do it not only to the TV rip, but to the whole thing!
Unfortunately, this show could never make it here in the USA, you have to follow UK and European news relatively closely, most Americans don't even follow American news closely.
Well I can say as a Brit that our two countries have the most controversial issues that those guys can roast the shit out of like it's nothing (mainly directed towards your shithead of a president).
@@homeofthemad3044 You could always make one focused on American news. I suspect the issue is that the type of humor is above the average American viewer.
@chickenkyiv4999 now he’s gone, we’ve had Loony Liz and are now onto Rishi Rich. The Tories have lost 1000+ councillors and the head of state has changed for the first time in 70 years. Yeah British politics has gone f*cking mental recently 😂
Recently it's seemed to rely on Trump for a lot of gags, which I can't help but find disingenuous and far from rebellious. Nobody can fill Deayton's shoes either, as good as some presenters have been in his place none quite capture the classic dry wit that HIGNFY used to encompass. Saying that though, I'm glad it's still going and it's worth watching for the most part, just watered down like every other panel show has become. Oh and the tune is still a fucking banger.
I mean let's not mess round this is a fucking banger

This along with Not Going Out, Top Gear new and old, Still Game and EastEnders have really memorable theme tunes
As an American, I must say this is one of the greatest TV themes I've ever heard!
+Dean Franz As another American (not that it matters) I agree. Reminds me of the great 40s-50s swing bands.

So many British themes are absolute bangers
2:03 until the end is the show's theme tune
Brexit In A Nutshell I Support EU
My all time favourite tv show along with Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, Top Gear and The Young Ones.
This should be the UK’s new national anthem
For some of us it already is 😉
The theme song is soooo excited XD
Glad I decided to look this up again
This theme very much reminds md of British politics
I'm British and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing... now that we have that absolute &$?!* of a "prime minister".

@@thomashall4886 Just because he won by a landslide, doesn't mean he's not a clueless tosser that swathes of people have a major distaste for.

Fantastic simple as that 👏🕺
This does actually have a kinda Japanese rock feel, when you think about it.
That's why it's 'big in Japan'
Still awesome! If you don't like this, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION! Thank you for the upload (it makes one corker of a ringtone).
damn this rules
Quality
I get up to 2.18 then I always miss out that little skip and lose my whistley way.! Excellent.
this is officially the theme song of my life rn
this completely bangs 0-0
0:00-0:49 even though very hard to hear when listening to it is the first series opening.
Wow! This is brilliant!!
The very last episode (whenever it comes) should have this played in full as the send off.....
Angus Deayton’s life must’ve flashed before his eyes when this played on THAT night lol. Paul Merton deserves a slap
No he doesn't. Deayton would have fully expected what was to come.
Big George Webley ❤
Using the resolution of the first part as the opening kind of cheats us of a great payoff. The beginning here makes it so much better
0:15 is the outro
is it just me or does this sound different to the tv version
yes the tv version would have been recorded seperate or edited from the full version
This version might be better in that respect. ruclips.net/video/x0ntNPa6X6k/видео.html&ab_channel=BigGeorge-Topic
who is the drummer?
Came here hoping for a drum break
Best theme, worst show
I personally think that this is a great show. I love watching it.

@@7EEVEE hard not to continuously make jokes about Trump really I mean
@@lmm2103 Not if you're funny.
@@7EEVEE it tends to rely on USA and uk leaders for jokes. Has done since the days of Maggie
