As a nice follow up to the previous Rainbow post, here's the multitalented overactor* and musician Matt Berry with an offering reminiscent of those 'cover version' TV theme records of years gone by. As is usually the case with those old records, there are several tweaks here and it all works rather well!
With the first track 'Are You Being Served?' we're treated to a particularly loungey but faithful presentation, 'Blankety Blank' has a nice improvised addition and Dr Who gets a glam rock makeover which reminds me of KLF's 'The Timelords - Doctorin' the Tardis'.
The theme from Ronny Corbett's 'Sorry!' is overhauled with a reggae flavour and there are several TV ident jingles sprinkled amongst it all for good measure.

*With the term 'overactor', I am giving a compliment as he does it so well and to great cominc effect as seen in this clip from 'The IT Crowd':
