This is not quite the full-on shoutfest it became later on - particularly after Roger Cook left to launch The Cook Report for the network - but it’s arguably no less confrontational.
And in the case of this clip, probably a bit NFSW.

I don’t think the Central Weekend theme tune ever gets enough credit for how great it is. I remember more the later arrangement performed live every week by the house band, but it’s still an absolute belter.
