We were, although we didnt totally appreciate it then, spoilt for choice back then with best sellers and excellently-made long-running drama series - often with serious scores by big-name film composers.
People now may not comprehend what it was like but without the internet and information about what new projects composers had done, each new series or film they had done simply wasn't known - so when a new series came on TV you listened to see if you could identify the composer until the name came up. A sort of composer version of name that tune!
That Main Theme always gets me hopping and bouncing.
Any love or appreciation from this wonderful TV Music by Dom Frontiere?
