The original Phil Daniels soundalike-plus-brass band theme tune (‘Starh’in’ Aht, Starh’in’ Aht’) was later replaced by something that sounded a bit like Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, which was then supplanted by a typically late-eighties overwrought power ballad. Between this and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Chris Gascoyne seemed to spend most of the eighties playing ne’er-do-wells, even turning up on Casualty as a hoolie on the top deck of a bus.
