Television Themes AcId JAZZ 8/10 Toast on cheese: plummy actor’s homage à ronnie hazlehurst

Discerning where the act ends and the man begins is a challenge with Falstaffian Toast Of London star Matt Berry, his eccentric pop sideline taking another inscrutable twist with this selection of reimagined signature tunes. Under Berry’s aegis, the themes from Are You Being Served? and Ronnie Corbett vehicle Sorry leap into dub space, The Rolling Stones’ “She’s A Rainbow” bleeds into the theme from kids’ show Rainbow, and the World In Action theme comes on like an outtake from Pink Floyd’s More soundtrack. The snarky will hear a reheated Mike Flowers Pops; the wise, a labour of genuine love. Turn on, tune in. JIM WIrTh
