Ski Sunday And The Theme Tune
Twenty minutes of downhill that everyone watched despite never skiing.
A BBC Sunday afternoon fixture with a theme tune more famous than the sport it introduced.
Almost nobody watching had ever been on a ski slope. It did not matter. Sunday afternoon television in Britain was a fixed liturgy and this was part of it.
Pop Looks Bach, the theme, remains instantly recognisable to people who could not name a single skier.
