I didn't often love the "Pink Panther" but I always thought Henry Mancini's theme with that seedy saxophone a piece of genius. This time, the painter is trying to paint things blue but the panther is having none of it. What was grey must be blue/pink; pink/blue - it's a war of attrition. It could go ... on for ever, or at least until one of them runs out of paint. Narked, the painter decides to deal with his pesky nemesis once and for all. Will it work? It's a bit repetitive, we get the gist after about three minutes, but it's still quite entertaining - especially the garden sprinkler!
