"I eat cannibals" - Toto Coelo

Five young women who are also wearing binbags, like host John Peel. "I eat cannibals" sounds like a novelty song, until we see this performance.

It's a second-wave feminist performance, the Coelo gang would pass as hellraisers; they eat cannibals, and don't spit bits out afterwards.

The group's routines looked inoffensive and fun, so as to avoid offending the dads (including Bob Holness, the father of Black Coelo).

I think that I need your expertise of the world of entertainment, and London.

Why, out of 24 silhouettes of #BobHolness playing the saxophone at an undisclosed #LondonUnderground station, does Bob Number 18 literally get it in the neck?

There's some strange tale here.

That Baron Greenback is at the centre of it, I'll be bound.

Ah, yes. I can see it now.

That does not explain the bullet hole, though. Or why only Bob Number 18 gets one.

Some dastardly mastermind is probably using this as some sort of signal to a criminal underworld.

Ironically, the actual original followed the common pattern for library music of being available in a number of A/B/C/"underscore"/&c. versions, which telly producers could use for opening and closing sequences, "stings" for commercial breaks and transitions, and so on.

Here's "Quiz Wizard (B)", a short "sting" version as aforementioned, that the show never used to my knowledge.

When the show became popular, the theme music was released as a single. Most library music aimed at telly producers is not particularly long, so the piece had to be spun out a bit to get it up to conventional single length, including an added bridge.

This is a common thing for successful telly #ThemeTunes. The version released as a single to make money isn't "the original".
