Reg Grundy Productions: Difference between revisions

* On the 2008 revival of the UK game show ''Going for Gold'', the logo is on a black background and is bylineless and textless.FX/SFX: The turning "RG", and the shining effect on the distributor logo.<br />Music/Sounds/Voice-over:  For game shows, an upbeat, jazzy brass fanfare can be heard (based on  Aussie's Grundy Television theme - specifically the one used for ''Sale of the Century''), along with the announcer (usually either Jay Stewart or Charlie Tuna) saying "(name of show) is a Reg Grundy Production!" Other shows (such as ''Scattergories'' in 1993) would have  the end title music playing. For the distributor logo, it's just the  "whoosh" sound as the shining wipe effect. Other series wouldn't use  either the fanfare or the announcement. On the 1985 pilot ''Matchmates'', a different fanfare was heard. On early episodes of the first series of ''Going for Gold'',  each episode ended with the following spiel over the closing bars of  the show's theme - "Produced in association with Super Channel and the  BBC, Going for Gold is a Reg Grundy Production!".<br />Music/Sounds/Voice-over Trivia: Gene Wood and Marc Summers were the announcers on ''Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak'' in '86 (this would be the only Grundy game that Gene Wood would announce for, aside from the 1985 pilot ''Matchmates'', and as for Marc Summers, this show's announcing job came before he became host of ''Double Dare'' on Nickelodeon that same year).<br />Availability: Rare. It's retained on ''Sale of the Century'' on Buzzr. It also appeared on ''Dangerous Women'', ''Scrabble'', ''Scattergories,'' the UK version of ''Jeopardy!'', ''Going for Gold'', and ''Small Talk'',  among others. Three of the variants, including the 1983 2D variant, made surprise appearances back-to-back on a televised obituary for Reg Grundy in May 2016.<br />Editor's Note: None.
