Leapfrog

Leapfrog was an ITV Schools programme which began in March 1978 and made by ATV. Fred Harris was one of the presenters. As a five-year-old at the time, i used to be spooked by its weird and wonderful title sequence, along with Ron Geesin's catchy theme tune, which has oddly stuck in my mind since then! The titles would feature a black background with shining letters turning and twisting to the sound of an echoing voice spelling out the title of the programme until the letters would settle at the centre of the screen.
