Completely O/T Help me with a 1970s TV prog.

[The Large One]

What was the name of the programme introduced by Fred Trueman in the early 1970s that was in a bar, and featured stuff like women's darts, bar skittles, and shuv ha'penny and all that?

I mainly ask cos the theme tune as I remember it was pretty cool.
