Sky UK Top 401990
Pat Sharp is no more, instead a generic rundown of the charts, it was basically all the music videos in order of the weeks popularity. A great idea for the opening titles to use a pinball machine! The programme was produced by Scores, "I chose the pinball machine, because it's like the jukebox; it has been associated with music from the 50s right throught to the 90s. I also wanted something with a sense of electricity and needed something i could use for countdowns and points being scored to indicate chart positions." says design creative Marc Caplan.

A relatively clean set of titles these. Mid series they were adapted to incorporate the bands appearing on the show.
The Tube1985
Definitely the best set of titles the programme had. A witty look at how important The Tube was to the world!!
Hands up anybody who knew who REM were in 85 ?
The Tube1986
