12/20 TV shows I 🥰
Weekend World. 1972-88.
It wasn’t the show, which was too lofty for my young brain. No, it was the theme tune: a thunderous roar of guitars, drums, & Hammond organ.
‘Nantucket Sleighride’ by Mountain. A tune about early 19th century whaling & cannibalism 😬
The show went out at 12:00 Sunday lunchtime. Host Brian Waldren would trail the show on the Saturday, telling me to watch “tomowow, at noon”, & indeed I did.
For about 45 seconds. Then I switched over.
