Written by the composer of the Countdown theme and sung by the Dooleys, what a surprise I never knew this.

I remember the tv series and the theme tune.  It used to be shown on a Sunday late afternoon or early evening.

I would have been about ten years old when this programme was on TV and I never forgotten the theme tune to it and now that I realize it was sung by a professional band (something I didn't know at the time) its clear why the theme was memorable.A pop band singing the theme tune to an educational programme - now that is something that you certainly wouldn't see today - and the world is worse off because of it. Education for the masses should very much be celebrated. Its what puts the sapiens in homo sapiens.

I remembered this tune and programme all this time, since it was on tv, but last time I searched for it there was nothing, thanks for uploading it. I think the programme was about teaching adults to read.
