@@chrisrichardson774 I liked the music, and the programme. He confided in his uncle Patrick Troughton. I agree, about Janet Dibley. I was wrong about his uncle Patrick Troughton. Tenniel Evans was.

It's brilliant to be able to hear this theme tune in its entirety as, of course, you only get a short spurt when watching the series. Very uplifting! Well done to whoever composed it - and looking forward to watching the first series again once the DVD arrives!

Another happy-sad tune from the 80's (kind of like Howards Way and the Littlest Hobo). I love that though as I can never make up my mind whether I'm happy or sad 😀 Fond memories of being at my Grandparent's house on a Friday night as a teenager watching this. Everyone is dead and buried now; so again happy-sad memories 💔

I feel grateful to have been growing up when the programme theme tune was just as important and had to be just as memorable as the programme itself...this, Howards Way, Boon need l go on. Back in this era they firmly understood that great theme music identity makes so many emotions in itself!

Poor Nick Lyndhurst. He deserved so much more. So heavily typecast and you only ever saw Rodney when you looked at him. Such a talented actor and couldn’t get work away from shitty sitcoms. Only Fools and Butterflies were classics but he should’ve went on to do so much more.

You have really intrigued me with your mention of The GingerBread Girl! I can't remember the show at all and had to 'google' it to find out that Janet Dibley was in it! I wish you luck in trying to find the series again as i know how difficult it can be to track down obscure shows from childhood days!

Nicholas.. if you ever see this.. well done, you made us all so happy watching you (and David).. but you put on a bit of weight like all of us lol.. Now .. this theme tune, programme, character persona's that take us right back to the 80's remind me of when life was care free for me, and HURT SO MUCH because my parents are now both gone.. no one to talk to, apologise to, confide in....

I converted my vinyl to MP3 about 10 years ago...I've just played it against your video and it is identical...The record's in the loft now...But I'm sure it was by 'Silsoe' They did the 1986 World Cup Theme...I have that too...Very similar style to this one :) Great upload 5/5 :)

@MaterialGirlMad1989 The theme was a bit cheesy but so was the show! So was the decade!!! Still fantastic though. I'm a bit of an 80s addict really. I love the tv shows, the movies, the music, the sport, even the clothes! Shame i was only a kid at the time! Thanks for your nice comments.

This is such an underrated show. I always thought this was better and funnier than Only Fools. I preferred Nick in this. The first series is on dvd, but my question is why are series 2, 3 and 4 not on dvd? Come on, release them! The opening was so uplifting and Janet Dibley is of course gorgeous. That's the first time I have heard the theme in its full length. Nice one.
