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.

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or tunes:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“They sang, but had not human tunes nor words,
Though all was done in common as before;
They had changed their throats and had the throats of birds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
