    Nice one sooper. Can I pick your brain?

    I think in the early 80's the BBC1 holiday program had a theme tune by a rock or prof rock band.

    If this was the case then please could you tell me the song and group that did it?

    For some reason the wrong track came up on that reply, this is the correct one, 'The Deserter' a very chilled-out track...

    Well I have always been a fan of theirs but that just blew my mind.

    Very very talented musicians and never got the the break they so deserved. Gentile Giant were starting to get recognition in the states mid to late 70's. They were kind of victims of the punk rock explosion.
