Theme Tunes
The original theme tune for the series was Love's The Castle.
Subsequent theme tunes in the mid-70s included Hugo Montenegro's arrangement of Lalo Schifrin's theme to the 1968 movie The Fox and Jean Michel Jarre's Equinoxe (Part One).
Gordon Giltrap's Heartsong was used as a theme tune from 1978 until the end of the 1985 series, when it was replaced with The Holiday Suite written by Simon May. This proved unpopular, and was replaced the following year by a further Giltrap composition.
In 1988, Paul Hardcastle composed new music called The Voyager. This theme was used throughout the 1990s and 2000s until the programme came to an end after 37 years in 2007.
