A shoo-in for the dreariest sporting TV theme ever written is the lamentable effort mustered by BA Robertson for the 1986 Commonwealth Games. Here's a BBC continuity announcer giving a suitably lacklustre announcement to the aforementioned dirge, followed by Des Lynam - in an impressively branded V-necked blue jumper - bemoaning all those who have contrived to "take the fun" out of the tournament. He may as well have added Mr Robertson's name to the list.
