'''Music/Sounds:''' For game shows, an upbeat, jazzy brass fanfare can be heard (based on the original 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!". In the final episode of ''Sale of the Century'', the director counts down from 5 before saying "We're done!", to signal the end of the show.

'''Music/Sounds 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).
