The coronavirus briefings given credits in the style of an ’80s American TV show are just brilliant
The government’s daily coronavirus briefings have become entirely predictable. It’s a pretty much safe bet that Boris Johnson won’t turn up, and it’s an even safer bet that whoever takes his place won’t answer the question.
So we’re grateful to @Darren_Dutton who’s livened them up with some closing (and opening) credits in the style of an ’80s American TV show and they’re brilliant.
Apologies. I don't seem to be able to stop making end credits for the daily coronavirus briefings. pic.twitter.com/nu4tcCOcnM

I dunno, maybe the daily briefing needs a rousing opening credits sequence to liven it up a bit#coronavirus #COVID19 #coronavirusuk pic.twitter.com/LbRix8OQht

Wonderful!
Any chance with the next one you include 'Rostrum camera – ken Morse'?

Hearing this theme tune has a Pavlovian effect on me. I instantly put on a pair of A-Team pyjamas and go to bed before Dad gets home.

I love this but it needs this footage of Matt Hancock doing parkour https://t.co/hjQPvi6Q51 https://t.co/vsAmGj7RDu

Oh man. If I'd known that footage existed it would've been a no brainer. Maybe I can add some Six Million Dollar Man sound effects to it.
