The theme tune, "I Could be So Good for You", was written in 1979 by Patricia Waterman and Gerard Kenny and sung by Dennis Waterman. The record reached No.3 in the UK charts in November 1980 and led Waterman to tour as a singer. Dennis Waterman also sang the theme songs to other programmes he starred in, including On the Up, Stay Lucky, and New Tricks, and this led to a parody in Little Britain where Dennis Waterman is offered acting work; he always assumes he will also 'write the theme tune, sing the theme tune...'. In November 2008, it was announced that Glasgow band Attic Lights would re-work the original theme for the resurrected series.

“But since Thy loud-tongu’d Blood demands Supplies,
More from BriareusHands, than Argus Eyes,

And write Thy Epitaph in Blood and Wounds!”
