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".

For those of you who like #ThemeTunes, this is the original library music by Ed Welch that was used for the show, entitled "Quiz Wizard".

Today's #retrogaming on the #BBCMicro #Blockbusters, I love this version of the game, questions that can still make an adult think, and the spelling has to be pretty good with this game. Great fun for two people, especially over Christmas! #nostalgia

How come all super heroes that are rich all inherited their wealth? Is there any “self made” billionaire super hero? What are we trying to teach/inspire kids? That unless you have rich parents, you are screwed? Where is the inspiration for turning your life around to become successful and turn in to a Hero that help / protect people from evil?
