R2OK!

Minx

Really enjoyed this programme last Friday. I had no idea that some of the music played was composed by him, though I had always been an admirer of his work. One of my particular favourites was "Where Are You Now My Love" which, as I recall, was the theme tune for a drama series. Can't remember the name though, can anyone help?

The Bill Kenwright slot "Colour my World" was good too.

Can't remember it being a theme Minx, but if it was ITV maybe all regions didnt get the show? I know we (Tyne Tees at the time) didn't get Crossroads at the start.

I heard the show when it was on earlier in the year, and had no idea that he had written Forget Him which was a hit for Bobby Rydell.

I might just listen again!

Wasn't Tony Hatch the original 'Mr Nasty' talent show judge, for (I believe) New Faces back in the 1970s?

It was apparently used as the theme for a series called "It's Dark Outside"
http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/oddman.htm I don't remember it, though I do remember William Mervyn in the later "Mr Rose"

Tony Hatch and Mickie Most shared the "Mr Nasty" role on New Faces.

I don't mind, but he didn't sing it did he?

I don't like it if they do that, but if it has a life changing affect it obviously is a 'track of your years'.

Yeah, it's not as bad as some (like Neil Sedaka) who just pick a track off their new album but it still annoys me.

I remember the serial, which came out a few months before the single did.

I think the reason that Tony Hatch is getting so much publicity is that it's his 70th birthday this month.
