Music
Despite its intended hearing-impaired audience, the show made extensive use of music for the benefit of hearing viewers watching the show. Notable themes included:
- The opening theme was "Accroche-Toi, Caroline" by Caravelli (recorded by the Paris Studio Group).
- The closing theme was "Java" in the versions recorded by Al Hirt and Bert Kaempfert
- "The Gallery" – "Cavatina" originally, but "Left Bank Two" by Wayne Hill (recorded by The Noveltones) is best remembered for this sequence. When Take Hart started, "Left Bank Two" became the opening theme tune and Cavatina became the "Gallery" music for the show instead.
- "The Burbles" theme "Goofy" by Cliff Johns.
- "Humphrey the tortoise" theme "Merry Ocarina" by Pierre Arvay.
- "Animated Clock" scene used "Gurney Slade" by Max Harris (the theme from the TV series The Strange World of Gurney Slade)
