The title officially stood for "Thank Four It's Friday", but was widely understood to mean "Thank Fuck It's Friday" and was a reference to the popular phrase "Thank God it's Friday". The show's theme tune was Ron Grainer's theme from Man in a Suitcase, in keeping with Evans's frequent use of 1960s television themes in his work.

The 60s: The Beatles Decade poster
NR

When people are asked to think about the 1960s, they automatically think love, peace and...The Beatles. Over the decade, the Fab Four changed from cheeky pop mop-heads to blissed-out experimentalists, and this transformation mirrored the country as a whole. This five-part documentary series looks at how the world's most famous pop group personified one of the most explosive and volatile decades of the 20th century. Although the 60s generation had it all, a changing political landscape and changing attitudes to sex and relationships were dragging Britain into a new age. By the end of the decade, The Beatles had split up, proving that the band's personalities and their music had become true symbols of an iconic decade.

Football legend and accomplished fly-fisher Jack Charlton's down-to-earth common sense and humorous approach make him the ideal guide in this much-sought-after television series. Over the six shows he meets experts who show us their gear and explain their tactics for different types of fishing. Go Fishing with Jack Charlton takes us entertainingly - and instructively - from basic river coarse fishing and the thrills of sea wreck fishing to every angler's ultimate ambition - salmon fishing in Scotland, where Jack shows us he is just as skilled on the river bank as on the football field!
