In this 1980 example, Eamonn surprises Michael Aspel, right after a recording of the miming game show Give Us A Clue at Teddington Studios. Listen carefully and you'll hear a bizarre arrangement of the stock tune Chicken Man, by Alan Hawkshaw, which Give Us A Clue shared with Grange Hill at the time. This Is Your Life's famous theme tune was actually called Gala Performance, composed by Laurie Johnson, though it was always edited to suit the show's title sequence.
