Given the drivel that ITV have used over the last 12 years it should be easy to understand...

Not that The Chain is my ringtone or anything...or that "Duel" by Propoganda (Top Gear Rally Report theme) is my message tone...no, definitely not whistle

I don't mind as long as it doesn't have a roulette table, super close-ups of some unshaven driver wearing a tuxedo and a grid bird waving a chequered flag.

This:

Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
Theres no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
He said youre blind too blind to see

(Can I Play With Madness? by Iron Maiden)

Well that's Def Leppard well and truly on my "hope your next st's a hedgehog" list. What a crock. Very glad that I will never be subjected to that unintelligible tripe again.

No, BBC have already chosen that as the theme for "The Politics Programme".

If anyone watched the Sports Personality awards on BBC last night, then I think we got the strongest message to date that the Beeb will be using The Chain next year, as guess what music they played when Lewis arrived down the slope for a chat...

All hail the beeb for f1 next year smile

'The Chain' is a hackneyed old cliche.

Bring something new. Please.

Well, ITV tried to avoid "hackneyed old cliches" for 12 years and failed miserably.

I found it quite amusing yesterday at the ROC when Martin Haven shouted "Who wants to hear the chain?" only to be greeted with almost total silence from the crowd! "Oh that'll be no one then." hehe
