This was the first tune I ever bought with pocket money, a 7 inch record. I am now 35 and this song i still love it. Use to watch the programme all the time in the 80's. Wish I was in the 80's again, great era
@dickturnipmarlboro My father was 'Whitewatch' Cambuslang Glasgow Scotland and I inhereted all his 'kit' and I have used it on many a 'senga' in my filthy bedroom antics....Get a few sherries down the Glasgow sluts and they will sliddown yer pole all night lolol Im up for dawning the full Juilete Bravo gear and pounding some saggy titted varicose veined over 40 prolapsed arsed and pussied married loose women.....you can take a trip up to my turf and join me its like shooting fish in a barrel lol
@johnalexanderberry 'Prelude No. 2 in C Minor' from 'The Well-Tempered Clavier'. Stop thief! Actually, Derek Goom politely acknowledged that it was an arrangement.
This was one of the best tv themes in the 80's...another was Hammer House of Horror...bt love this Juliet Bravo theme...they don't make them like they used to..!!!
Sitting in the front room with your parents and siblings watching Juliet Bravo or Dr Who or All Creatures Great & Small and drinking Cherryade or Cream Soda from the popman, after a long day of riding your bike, fishing for golf balls, playing manhunt, sitting in the local park talking about anything & everything.
Why did kids stop doing these things?
Wish I could travel back and be 10 yrs old again :)
@tiasarahellielorna actually, stolen - stop thief! Derek Goom admitted all the charges, m'lud: it is an arrangement of "Prelude No. 2 in C Minor" from "The Well-Tempered Clavier" by J S Bach.
@zigazig1980 No I think the character's name was Jean Darblay and then it was a different woman in a latter series, who was called Kate Longton... I think so anyway.
@richardpjbarnes :) I don't really remember what she looked like; I was too young. I do remember though an episode where one of the police officers got killed in a fire. Never ever forgot the awesome theme tune though.
@ThatMattOne It's weird ain't it. I had wondered whether the character's initials were J.B. but it doesn't seem so- it was actuallly just the radio call-sign for the woman commander of the fictional Hartley police station.
Remember it well, saw an episode being filmed when I worked in Bacup, Lancashire. The Police station in the film eas a real working station back then, now no longer!
Moment of silence to fondly remember Juliet "did you turn the one? "Ionoff. She wasn't a copper or a Lund fishing boat for the fishing expedition turned epitaph threat, but she taught me in the flash of some very old tits and tewrrible aim, even from down the street in Canada in the form of a Sistah Bo'. that what I'm doing to the Superstate would be possible as they thought it had already happened, but don't know how to sell what it was they "thought" had happened. Juliet, they Cosyfitted.
I remember this series - set in a northern police station - a woman inspector assisted by a pair of kindly seargents, a grizzled older PC and an idealistic young PC - no one ever got fitted up and no one ever fell down the stairs - in other words a tissue of lies and make-believe. :)
Many thanks for posting-it's nice to hear this again.
Juliet Bravo ran on BBC1 from 1980 to 1985. Series 1 to 3 starred Stephanie Turner as Inspector Jean Darblay. Series 4 to 6 starred Anna Carteret as Inspector Kate Longton.
The series was shown on Saturday nights throughout its run.
The series was repeated on BBC1 from 1985 to 1988, but I believe it has not been shown since.
@bazfanv2 just read this posting in my hotel room abroad...lol maybe sad but the chance of a listing like that on terrestial British TV is about a million to one!! But like your style!!!
Its sounds very much like la passione. i remember an epsiode when an umemployed bloke jumped through a window, must have been early 80s as there was obviously alot about then...... as there will be again soon
totally 80s and such a great theme tune...tv was so much better then with this...bergerac...gentle touch and some of the american 70s 80s cops series too
Always remember that episode where they coax a depressive who has lost his job down from the window. As they are congratulating each other, one of them says 'It was teamwork that done it' The man breaks free, mutters 'No it didn't' and hurls himself through the window in slow motion
Yeah well said exactly the same Story by me. I'd Love to by the Cd But can't find it here in Germany anywhere, If there is actualy a Cd to the series.
Brilliant. Yep, not at first when you listen to it, it does. Great great theme tune though. Think of better ones for what they need to depict. Ski Sunday maybe - that was genius
Lightscheider - Unless I am mistaken (and someone out there can correct me) but Juliet Bravo wasn't the lead characters actual name. That, af far as I am aware, her call-sign which uses the phonetic alphabet.
I work for a UK police force and often find myself humming this tune at work whilst mincing down the corridors of HQ....and yes I watch it on DVD, sad or what?.......its still a great tune and episode though!!!!!
One of the greatest theme tunes ever, i still get a tingle down my spine when i here it. The bbc should do a follow up series. This program was both ahead and of its time.
there movie this where i uesd to live befor burnley and nelson colne now it on bbc 4 sunday nights still watch the good old day was 12 years old then when this come out
Some say, 'The Well-Tempered Clavier', Book 1: Prelude No. 2 in C Minor, BWV 847. And you can just about here it there, from two mins on.. No wonder it's good.
Well, perhaps if it's a common cord sequence perhaps it's no coincident, I certainly can hear it. It is amazing why the real piece is so difficult to find. Though about 2.30 in the afore mention Bach in the left hand the theme seems to appear. Could be just me wanting to hear it.
This was the first tune I ever bought with pocket money, a 7 inch record. I am now 35 and this song i still love it. Use to watch the programme all the time in the 80's. Wish I was in the 80's again, great era

Juliet Bravo was created by Ian Kennedy Martin.
It had different writers during its run.
When it ended in 1985, the following year the BBC introduced Casualty, which still runs to this day of course-now some 24 years later!
