In 2010, Berry played journalist Michael Duffy in the BBC production Five Daughters, about events surrounding the Ipswich murders of 2006. In 2011, he provided the voice of Allen in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode " Allen Part Two". He appeared in the British comedy panel game Shooting Stars, portraying Vangelis. [18] He also appeared as an antiques expert in the ITV sketch show Monkey Trousers with Vic and Bob and Steve Coogan. [19] Matt’s version of Rainbow– one of the few on the album he actually sings on – is a respectful and faithful take on the much-loved show’s theme. Television Themes was released just days after the passing of Geoffrey Hayes, childhood hero to Matt, myself and vast swathes of the UK’s Generation X and as such, it’s an accidental but no less fittingly beautiful tribute to our beloved TV dad. I also learned thanks to Matt that there are extra lyrics to Rainbow. Wondering if Matt had added these extra bits himself I looked up the full version by Rainbow‘s in-house band Telltale and discovered that there are even more verses in the original!

Nature abhors a vacuum. The dust hadn’t even settled on Matt Berry’s acclaimed 2020 album Phantom Birds and yet he was already hatching plans for a follow up. More accurately, he’d recorded most of The Blue Elephant before Phantom Birds had even been released. You will know Matt Berry from sitcoms such as The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and Toast Of London. And if you haven’t watched any of those (if not, why?) then you should recognise his distinctive voice from internet radio channel Absolute or TV ads for products as diverse as mineral water, jelly snakes and fruit yoghurts. But did you know he has a critically acclaimed musical career too?It's a covers album, just an appreciation of a time when the signature tune and title sequence were both important elements within the overall theme, atmosphere and tone of a television show. I've always loved these now lost, rare and in some cases forgotten themes so, as with everything I do artistically, I set out to please myself and capture these gems as best as I could and make them available on vinyl, some possibly for the first time?"

Matt Berry is probably one of the most enviable performers around at the moment. Not only is he well-known for his masterful comic turns in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, House Of Fools, The IT Crowd and Toast Of London, but he also has an enviable vocal talent. Here’s one of those albums where all you have to do is take a look at the cover and you know you want it! I refer to Matt Berry‘s forthcoming Television Themes. Berry began his career as a runner. Between 1998 and 1999, he appeared in the video game magazine show Game Over on BSkyB's computer and technology channel .tv. [4] The episodes contained a large number of comedy sketches with Berry as the main performer. Berry starred in the video for the Super Furry Animals song " Run-Away" (2007), directed by Richard Ayoade. [66] Other appearances include the videos for "Reset" (2011) by London-based experimental band Three Trapped Tigers [67] and "What Are You Like" (2017) by Irish band Pugwash.
