Name That Tune is a British television game show that put two contestants against each other to test their knowledge of songs.
Marion Ryan was the singer in the popular musical quiz Spot the Tune on Granada Television for seven years, with a total of 209 half-hour programmes.
Several stars hosted it, including disc-jockey Pete Murray, Canadian pop singer Jackie Rae, and comedians Ken Platt and Ted Ray.
The UK pilot was recorded in 1976 and became a 15-minute slot on the popular entertainment series Wednesday at Eight, which went on to become London Night Out.
However because the game was so popular, producers Thames Television decided to turn Name That Tune into a half-hour weekly series in 1983.
Maggie Moone and Irish trio Sheeba sang the songs that contestants had to guess, while the pianist (whose hands were a regular feature) was Ronnie Price.

It will be revived again as the sole new addition to the second series of Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow filmed at Dock10 studios in 2021.
The first contestant to name three tunes won a special prize (like a Hi-Fi system), and the third had to be either earned naturally, or by default.
