For the theme tune, Billy, could you not record that from the 70's latest DVD collection, then pop it on a disc or cassette?

A shame Zoe (George@Kirrin) no longer contributes as I remember her playing the single - blasting at mega-decibels from her Beetle - en route to a Forum Picnic on a Society Day.

Isn't there a thread somewhere with some pictures of her vast collection on it?

Blimey! I've always had it in my mind that no one owns a copy except @GeorgeKirrin! Seriously, though, it's nice to know that copies are available out there. Nice link, Gary.

What's the Hopwood/Rowe 'B' side like??
B-side "Together Again" was written by ex-Herman's Hermits guitarist Keith Hopwood and his Pluto Recording Studios business partner at the time, Malcolm Rowe.

From memory, it's much better than the 'A' side. It was available on YouTube accompanied by various stills of the series.

Here's a link to the B side " Together Again". Ignore the (German ?)titles it's in English.

And here's the theme tune, side 'A' of the record, but with various clips from the series.
