Theme music
The original opening theme was "I Can't Explain" by The Who, replaced for series 2 with "Making Time" by The Creation.
Various 1960s and 1970s rock songs are used over the closing credits (and throughout). Although not featured over the credits, heavy use is also made of tracks from the album Acid Brass by the Williams-Fairey Brass Band.
