This might be a long shot, however I was wondering if anyone can help me find a TOTP theme tune from the Eighties.
In the mid '80s they started using 'The Wizard' by Paul Hardcastle, however, when he released it to the general public as a single about 18 months after the TOTP revamp, he decided to mess with the arrangement and add that stupid 'laugh' from Michael Jackson's Thriller LP.
Anyone know where I can get the 'original' version ? Funnily enough around '88-ish TOTP later ceased using it in favour of the single version (although the opening titles remained the same).
If you know what I'm talking about please e-mail me at eddie@talbot.org. I have a feeling if it may only be within reach of someone who has access to the BBC's archives - if this is the case I am even prepared to pay you a reasonable sum for your trouble !! Thanks !!
