5 THINGS SKREAM'S "MIDNIGHT REQUEST LINE" SOUNDS LIKE THE THEME TUNE TO

1) A 1980 BBC science and technology programme, with crap, stark, ZX-Spectrum-generated vectors cutting across the screen, before the camera zooms in on a bearded man, mumbling 'good evening', in a harshly-lit laboratory

2) A mid-80s NHS public information video, entitled Coping with Bereavement

3) A documentary about a teenage gluesniffing couple, both boy and girl struggling to make their relationship work while battling their Evostik habits - the tune resurfaces at the end when the camera focuses on them, zonked out in death poses, on a pair of swings down the park in the middle of a light rain shower

4) A low-budget, 3-hour long Hungarian Star Wars ripoff B-movie from 1979, featuring a terrifying Stalinist figure (in a black motorcycle helmet) who comes from a distant planet, who intends to turn Earth into a gulag....but comes unstuck when the Virgin Mary mysteriously appears to some youngsters at a scrapyard, and inspires the formation of Earth Defence 1 : Squadron Christus - leading to one almighty brawl in space.

5) A Panorama special report, exposing the 'sinister' secret links between CND and prominent Iranian businessmen
Comments:
Hungarian Star Wars. That song is never going to quite sound the same to me ever again.
 
midnight request can also be used in slightly potty Phyllis Nelson remixes
