Theme Tune
The opening credits began with cartoon renditions of the presenters engaged in a friendly exchange:
Mel: Whatcha Bob
Bob: Whatcha Mel
Mel: Whatcha been up to?
Bob: Can't you tell?
Bob: I've been taking a look at a book
Bob: Thumbing my way through the text
Bob: I've been worming my way through a paperback a day
Bob: and I'll tell you all about it if you're in-ter-es-ted
The chorus went something like:
"Good books, bad books and never been had books
"good books, bad books and sad books
There's a book about about a plane that disappeared without a trace,
book about a man who came from outer space
Mel: Tell you what, Bob. What's next?

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or tune:
“If a theme or idea is too near the surface, the novel becomes simply a tract illustrating an idea.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne
Burned on the water. The poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them. The oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
