I've read elsewhere that it was no less a man than Ron Grainer who composed the theme for 'Basic Maths'. That's plausible, as he was regularly ATV's go-to-guy for theme music. If that's true, then it merely confirms what an alchemist of sound he truly was.

@crazyclive 'Fraid not - it *was* a musical genuis Ron, but Geesin rather than Grainer this time. That's the same Ron Geesin who appeared on some of Pink Floyd's output ("Atom Heart Mother", certainly) and who composed other innovative / creepy (delete as applicable!) synth theme tunes for ATV / Central such as the one for Leapfrog. Hope this helps - gc

@graysonscolumn I realised some time ago that I'd made this mistake when I heard Ron Geesin's excellent (albeit short) 'Twisted Pair' track from the old "Starting Science" ATV/Central series off the MHPPP website, but thanks anyway. :)

@crazyclive Also, is this track commercially available anywhere?

Ahhh, the nostalgia of it.

I had the vaguest memory of this theme tune from over thirty years ago and hey presto I'm listening to it on Youtube.

I'm still waiting for the club mix!

One could still get away with that in the 80s. It would sound as ridiculous now as some might suppose that machine looks (but I don't).

Oh yes oh yes oh yes, I remember this! Was it Fred Harris singing the theme tune? And who was the woman?

I'm guessing from the credits in another Basic Maths video that she's Mary Waterhouse.
