Re: (TV) TV's MM on TV (WB)



On Sunday just gone, UK viewers would have seen on
BBC2 a profile of one of England's top cricketers, Ian
Botham, during which almost the entirity of the
Marquee Moon guitar solo was used as the background
track as the programme highlighted Mr. Botham's
glories of 1977.

Any UK viewers remember See No Evil used as background
to one of BBC2's Motor Racing Grand Prix programmes
(circa 1990)?

I kid you not
