Next Thursday...

Well, no Pops tonight, but don’t worry as another aspect of the classic Thursday night takes centre stage. BBC4 seems to be becoming the home of the telly revival as after the Whistle Test special earlier this year, now it’s time for an equally cherished Beeb staple to return to our screens for one night only. Looks like it should be great fun too, as Maggie Philbin and Howard Stableford are our hosts, and live in the studio they’ll be joined by many of the people who appeared on it when it was going concern to look back at the future and doubtless dust off some fantastic clippage. They’ll also be joined by BBC4 regular Hannah Fry to give the latest technology the Tomorrow’s World treatment, and it should be a hugely entertaining affair and a suitable tribute, long overdue given the original run more or less petered out. The big question, though, is which of the many brilliant theme tunes are they going to use?
Well, Maggie and Howard both presented TW during the '80s, when Richard Denton and Martin Cook's radiophonic tune and Paul Hart's trumpet fanfare were used. For many, however, *this* is *the* TW theme - along with *the* TW title sequence...

I thought this was good, nice archive clippage with lots of the old presenters back in the studio doing a nice job and failing with the live experiments just like the old days
Maybe they could bring it back for a monthly show, in the same slot as The Sky At Night
I was reminded of an obscure LWT comedy 'Not With A Bang', where Judith Hann, in a spoof Tomorrow's World, accidentally wiped out almost the entire population of Earth in the first few minutes. Bugger!

Norway must have a channel just for these epics. Maybe someone could turn E4 into slow tv
Enjoyed the opening pair of Sinner episodes, felt as if the writers/directors are seeking a sort of David Lynch "lite" vibe. Even the music has a touch of the Angelo Badalamenti's0 -
