Ahead of tomorrow evening's Cult TV Jazz gig featuring Paul Higgs, here's a quick quiz for you..

i) Which vibraphone-led tune accompanied a look around "The Gallery", in a children's show targeted particularly at those with hearing impairment?

ii) Which popular school-based show had a theme originally called "Chicken Man"?

iii) Which trad jazz-flavoured tune was used for another school-based show starring John Alderton?

iv) Which popular music form is the basis for the theme tunes to "Batman", "Spiderman", "The Dave Allen Show" and "Are You Being Served"?

v) Which ubiquitous musical fragment (broadcast every day on the BBC) forms the basis of the theme to "Yes Minister"?

Answers to these and other important questions will be provided tomorrow evening during the course of Paul Higgs' Cult TV Jazz show! Join us from 8.30pm in the bar at the Maddermarket Theatre for an evening of fun, familiar tunes jazzily arranged for trumpet-led quartet by Paul, and peppered with a wealth of "I-never-knew-that" anecdotes.
