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?

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). :)
