Channel 4 – inappropriate music!

[fivelongdays]

Call me a tad anal, but did anyone else think it kinda weird C4 using the theme from ‘Champions’ (AKA the Grand National music) for their roundup of past Champion Stakes winners?

I mean, I hear that music and I’m automatically thinking of Aintree!

So don't run, just like the others always do

Wasn’t it first used in the film of Sea Biscuit? A flat horse.

Associated with Champions flat and jumps.

Inappropriate, why ?

The music you refer to is entitled, "Champions" – composed by Carl Davis for the film "Champions" – you know the one; Bob Champion, Aldaniti, John Hurt …

That’s the one!

"Champions"

Knew I’d heard it somehere in a racing film.

Thanks H.

Fantastic piece of music, should be used for all big races in my humble opinion. Does send a shivver down your spine on Grand National day I must admit.

For once a good Morning Line today, previewing races instead of talking b****x and the memory lane Champion Stakes feature was excellent. Should do this for all major races as well.

In Big Mac style :
