Find the opening sequence for one of your favourite old TV shows and post it to your LJ. Bonus points for datedness or obscurity. Play as many times as you like.

I present... Educating Marmalade, starring Charlotte Coleman (Scarlett in Four Weddings, amongst other things), and written by Andrew Davies (yes, the guy who wrote the screenplay for Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth). Sadly not on DVD as yet. Marmalade was my kind of heroine. Before every episode there was a "Bad Girl Warning". The theme song is by Bad Manners. Very early 80s (as a website about it remarks, it's basically a junior version of the Young Ones), and obscure enough not to be on YouTube - do I get a prize? :)

Oh blimey I remember that! Funny, I was allowed to watch that, as anarchic as it was, but not Grange Hill!

Charlotte Coleman, rest her soul! Fabulous!

Aw, she was a sad loss. I so wanted to be Marmalade. I would never dare call people "cock", though. :) I wish they'd release it on DVD, but then again, I don't know if it'd be as spectacular as my memories of it.

Yeah, it'd prob be quite dated now - except if one has uncorrupted nephews & nieces to indoctrinate ... *strokes chin evilly*
