My favourite theme of any show as a kid and I loved the show. Barrymore was the funniest guy on tele by far. I was always jealous of the kids that got to go on the Xmas special. Never heard this full version before either. I still walk around humming this theme.

I might actually explode one day, at the sight of yet another tart warbling a lip quivering "ba-a-beyy" to Simon Cowell's approval. Honestly, I think it might be the end of me if it doesn't cease soon. I don't actually watch a single show on TV nowdays. I only ever see tradition telly on other people's sets. I own a couple of TV's, but I only use them as computer monitors. I'm wasting every single penny of the TV license I avoid paying. (sshhh!) ;-)

I'm now 40, and Strike It Lucky/Rich was omnipresent during my childhood and teenage years. To this very day I often find myself whistling or humming that opening few bars of the theme when I'm sat in traffic or reading through paperwork lol Despite the whole "Barrymore thing" I do have very fond memories of the show. Glad I'm not the only one out there who appreciates it for the great half hour of telly it was...

@@residentelect I'm also now 40, we both must have been the same age when we heard it first time around. I too sing and hum that tune, it was and still insanely catchy with the greatest hook being the main trumpet-esque melody that starts all of it. It is unfortunate what happened with Michael Barrymore since his TV career never recovered from it although there are still the memories. I'm also glad that I'm not alone in that regard either.

Composer is session bassist Paul Westwood. What a deceptively simple theme, and lovely to hear the full version here. The bridge is a bit crap (but they often are), the little horn solos are unexpected and wonderful. The best part though is the modulated main riff (0:21) because it's such a great resolution musically to the main theme and tickles my soul somehow. It just makes it even better to know this was simply a library piece before being plucked 'off the shelf' for stardom!

After the show, we were invited backstage. I wanted to meet Michael Barrymore because it was an opportunity of a lifetime. He signed me his autograph. My grandmother had a videotape of his live show in Blackpool in 1994. We watched it a lot and we laugh. She left me the videotape before she passed away.

Copyright. Thames owned the name Strike It Lucky, but the format was only licensed to them from the production company who created the show under originally in America. When Thames and Central ended the show in 1994, LWT wanted to continue it, so they acquired the rights from the US. But when they approached Thames for the rights to the name, they wouldn't allow them to use it due to a bitter old rivalry. So they were forced to use the original name for the show in the US. Thames used the name Strike It Lucky instead of Strike It RIch because of restrictions on cash prizes on TV.
