"Take 5" Jazz Tune as a TV/Movie Theme?

[edit]

Hi,

Can anyone help me remember whether the jazz tune "Take 5" has ever been used as a TV or movie theme? I think I remember this from my childhood - note that this could have been a UK-only TV programme but all suggestions welcome.

The original is by the Dave Brubeck Quartet but the theme I seem to recall could have been a cover.

There's a possibility that the music could have been a recurring part of a segment in the main body of the programme rather than the opening or closing theme.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks Wikipedians!

User:Drosenbach, on April 25, was aware of the song but couldn't place the song's name.[1] He might be able to answer the flip side of this question. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots22:36, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was You Must Be The Husband {although it's not mentioned in the article). Cassandra 73 (talk) 22:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was used as the theme tune to The Secret Life of Machines. Readro (talk) 09:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
