Guess the TV theme tune - 1980s British Sitcom

17/20 as a child of the 80s I am pleased with that score.....Thanks another excellent quiz

19/20 - didn’t get Up The Elephant & Round The Castle, but being born in 1982 helped a bit, as well as Forces TV showing a load of obscure stuff (it’s showing Mothers Ruin at the moment which I never thought I’d see repeated, and I recorded the last two series of Shelley from it).
