Take the High Road 1987

[@zeroone7867]

God, the nostalgia is painful.

[@BlueSmurf10]

I so miss Take the High Road (I refuse to call it 'High Road'). I remember my shock as a 10 year-old when this rather sweet gentle music turned all RAWK with guitars and the like. Bring back Mrs Mack!

Nah man, that final theme is the best. TTHR's NEEDED to be updated. This theme sounded a bit like Dallas/Dynasty/Falcon Crest/Santa Barbara/insert US soap

[@davidn87]

I love how the cast credits played over the main theme before the crew come over that middle bit in the music.

[@Goosebumps869]

I must say, I love the aerial shots of Scotland. My ancestors come from there.

[@thebigloc1]

me and my mum were addicted to this and the final year of the show RTE Irl switched around when the episodes were on each week it was hard to find it :( was one of the best soaps ever much better than river city

[@Hulk2k6]

@Davegy1 Like any countryside based serial, They were forced to get with the times. Plus with a new decade looming, they needed to update the theme song as everyone else was doing. The 1990 theme will always resonate with me as I was a kid and I remember my aunt leaving the show on in the background while she did housework when she babysat me. Based on all accounts a number of the early characters stuck around for Donkey's years.

@Harr123 I lived in the Border ITV region and this was shown at 7.30. However, except for a few grannies, everyone else was watching Eastenders.

[@bracknellboy81]

I loved this Soap

[@GazTheKitman]

I used to live around there. I'm homesick now!

[@Hulk2k6]

@Harr123 Actually, there was a shitstorm when it was given the boot down in a number of southern regions in the mid-90s and there was a big fat fight to keep it on the air even though it was primarily a day time serial (something to watch after H&A but before CITV).

[@dementednun1175]

This was a powerful version of the show a big brass band ! As for the show just like Brookside,Eldorado and a few other shows the politics entered and killed them although in Brooksides case it killed its self

[@Lauraloos1981]

This makes me very proud to be Scottish.

[@thethirdman2135]

I lived in a council flat on a rough london estate and used to wish i lived in this wonderful place, happy memories

[@sallyannekloar1470]
