He composed or arranged the theme music for the television programmes Have I Got News For You, The Office, Room 101, and Graham Norton as well as play-out music for One Foot in the Grave (for which he claimed he was paid more than the more famous Have I Got News For You theme).
Webley also composed numerous other themes for the National Theatre, Arts Theatre, ballet, and radio including Ian McMillan’s East Coast Girls, Emma Clarke's Share and Share Alike, and Neil Mossey’s Stockport So Good They Named It Once.
