This rather neat video shows all the idents used by the Beeb and ITV since 1978 to introduce their World Cup programming. Which are your favourites ? There may be some age bias in your choices. I can just about remember Mexico'86 for instance. Each World Cup is a milestone of sorts in a life which is how big they have become. [video=youtube;ar3uie-a6_o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar3uie-a6_o[/video] And the one missing ident theme for ITV in 1986 Silsoe's Aztec Gold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z3-1QLzJzM My personal favourite is France'98 from the Beeb which encapsulates several of the staples of French culture with the final shot of the stained glass of Marie the spirit of France.
This the World Cup Brush Up is well worth watching. Filled with hilarious moments throughout both intentional and non intentional: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b045q1dd/world-cup-brush-up-with-danny-baker
