On the contrary most people know that and it's been discussed in pubs and been a quiz question for years. People fucking knew it after Gladiator came out in 2000 or whatever and "that's the going for gold man" Whenever anyone says "Not many people realise" it's a thick bastard who's just learned it years after everyone else, but feels the need to know something Sit in the corner. If people want an education they'll ask for it.

One of my mates (hope he’s reading this😂) was unemployed during “the second summer of love 1991” he had watched every episode of going for Gold that year, then all of a sudden he was offered a job at a place called true cut leathers in Leicester where his mum and brother already worked, not the best offer but he needed some money so he took it, he was genuinely gutted that the start date was on the same day as the final and he missed it 😂😂😂😂

It was composed by a young Hans Zimmer who went on to compose for Hollywood (Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean etc). This is still his greatest work.

Jack Klugman aka Quincy MD was on a special celebrity edition of this !

Winner! Jim Cam-bell!

Love the full tune and the tv edit

Loved watching this!!

sounds like a rocky training montage

I remember this reminds me of my school days when I had a day off (very rare) or bk in the afternoon n this would b on. To think Hans Zimmer wrote n produced this. That’s Hans Zimmer who wrote the music to Gladiator, Dark Knight n The Lion King. I guess u gotta start somewhere.

If you heard this as a kid, you were bunking off school or actually sick.

Ahhh mid afternoon TV in the 80s!

They should've used it in the opening ceremony at the London Olympics a few years back.

I love you, I've been looking for this for quite some time.

Anyone listen to this at least once a year?

Listening to this on New Year's Eve ... Rock N Roll!

There's always so much more to a theme you never heard back in the day due to the shorter intro usage. Prince Valiant cartoon theme is a winner in full!
