[upbeat music] Hello, everybody. Welcome along to the Rest Is Entertainment World Cup of Special. I am joined by Bella Hull. Hello, Bella.
Bella Hull· Guest0:18
Hello.
Richard Osman· Host0:18
Very nice to see you. And Ivo Graham. Hello, Ivo.
Ivo Graham· Guest0:21
Hello, Richard. Thanks for having us.
Richard Osman· Host0:22
Um, just absolutely full disclosure, we are recording this, uh, just before the England World Cup semifinal, which is why Ivo is wearing what he's wearing. That may age very badly.
Ivo Graham· Guest0:31
Wear it all year round.
Richard Osman· Host0:32
Who knows?
Ivo Graham· Guest0:32
Stopped clock.
Richard Osman· Host0:33
Listen, we all age badly. [laughs] [laughs] Now, our World Cup this week is the World Cup of TV theme tunes. Okay, what we've done, we've sent a whole long list of TV theme tunes to our friends at Focal Data. They put all of those to the British public, uh, and we have a list of the most popular ones in the world. We will draw various of these themes into four quarterfinals. We'll chat about them a bit. At the end, we will discover which TV theme the British public thinks is the best. I warn you, as I always warn you, the public are pretty much always wrong.
Bella Hull· Guest1:06
Okay.
Richard Osman· Host1:07
So we can talk about our own favorites as well.
Bella Hull· Guest1:08
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
