The incidental music in this show was superb too. As were the occasional songs they dropped in. It was a polished production but the less said about that awful final season, the better.

[@boldbeautifulau]

Was a great show. The score music was superb, especially Goldie’s Theme (opening moments of episode 1 from season 2)

I used to watch Water Rats every day and Frank and Goldstein were the 2 best detectives every in my opinion

[@thescreamingjetswhentheyrocked]

Quite potentially the best piece of fusion I think I've ever heard EVER. I'd love to know who the muso's were on this recording!!

[@boldbeautifulau]

Les Gock from ‘Song Zu’. More here: www.discogs.com/release/2988091-Various-Water-Rats-Original-Music-From-The-Hit-TV-Series

It was a good show and a good theme song, back in the days when the opening took up a reasonable amount of time but it was good and therefore no problem. Now we have shows like Doctor Doctor (also from Nine) with an opening they can't get out of the way quickly enough.

Hey.! Do a history check on Homicide, Division -4, Matlock Police of the late 60s to 1970s On what Tv kick arse cop show was about.

[@WOSHSV7]

water rats intro was` so catchy.

[@SpeedBowlBand]

blues for theme song i like it

[@eddpower5425]

Did they ever actually redesign the opening/closing titles?

[@FutureCanadaBlue]

Nope, only removed or added characters as the show went along in addition to a remix of the closing theme as played here. Other episodes just used the opening theme again.

[@boldbeautifulau]

It never needed a redesign - just add/remove the people.
