Since 2019, Berry has narrated adverts for Moneysupermarket.com [43] and voices inserts for Absolute Radio. This collection also appears to include music to various TV ‘idents’ of bygone eras, including LWT (London Weekend Television) and Thames Television.

The show was a six-part television programme for BBC One, broadcast under the title Toast of Tinseltown and co-written by Berry and Arthur Mathews. [36] Voiceovers [ edit ] Monkey Trousers DVD".

Matthew Charles Berry was born on 2 May 1974 [2] in Bromham, Bedfordshire, [1] the son of nurse Pauline (née Acreman) and taxi driver Charles Berry.

In 2019, Berry also starred in the IFC/Channel 4 sitcom Year of the Rabbit. Set in Victorian London, he plays the alcoholic Detective Inspector Rabbit. On 11 February 2020, the series was renewed for a second series of six episodes.

Layla Smith, chief executive of the show's production company OMG, stated, " Year of the Rabbit is a victim of the devastating effects of COVID. [...] IFC are very committed to the show, but we will need to find another partner — and we're working on that." [34] 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. 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!

Berry chooses to start out with a faithful-sounding rendition to begin with, before taking a sidestep in the middle to bring a more Ska-influenced take, complete with appropriate change in tempo, which is an unexpected – but very amusing – diversion.
