And it's goodbye from them ...
So, after 48 years and some 3,500 episodes, Grandstand has drawn it's last breath.
In homage to the great show, some archive footage (below) - in black and white, of course!
And now for the final time, the iconic theme tune that heralded the start of many a Saturday afternoon spent lazing on the couch:

I think I said this before but you've gotta love the Harry Enfield sketch.

Btw, after watching that Grandstand video I have to ask - are those the REAL lyrics behind the tune? If not it's quite clever anyway.

No idea if they're the real lyrics, or indeed if the Grandstand theme has any words accompanying it - but you're right, whoever's compiled the remix has done a fantastic job!!!

Thanks guys, I created the theme-tune video for fun and made those lyrics up. Regards, Mark
