On Mike's notes here, it says that Richard Whiteley (on the fifth program) calls the clock music something - could anyone clarify what it says?

What was the last episode that used the extra-intensity clock music?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

My notes don't seem to say, but the wiki reckons it only lasted for 12 editions. I'll let you do the math(s).Johnny Canuck wrote:What was the last episode that used the extra-intensity clock music?
