  • Theme music based on music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.

  • @johnalexanderberry 'Prelude No. 2 in C Minor' from 'The Well-Tempered Clavier'. Stop thief! Actually, Derek Goom politely acknowledged that it was an arrangement.

  • OH, the "imagined" self-bashing of that one...

    Having ti "Suffer " such bad rewrites...

    (Shoots MI6 agent in the face)

  • Now TOTALLY legless, Coopertops...

  • 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..!!!

  • memories...

  • 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 :)

  • Could do with releasing on UK TV gold!

  • Takes me back........another time.......another place........another person! glad to have found this and to be back ;) Thanks for posting x

  • when theme tunes were great!!! most 80s ones were tho before the crap u get these days

  • it's the Onedin line

  • still the best saturday night show by far

  • my girlfriends 2nd favourite tv theme

  • @izow100 LOL! which is the first?

  • beautifully composed theme

  • @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.

  • this was released as a 7in single in 1984., on bbc records i think.

  • I remember when I was five years old I actually thought the police woman's name was 'Juliet Bravo' :)

  • @pufferfishish hmm is she not? lol

  • @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.

  • @pufferfishish Correct on both accounts of the characters' names. Juliet Bravo or "J.B." is the inspector's call sign.

  • @pufferfishish So did I...! And I fancied her too, always wanted to get arrested by her.....

  • @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.

  • @pufferfishish Me too man. I was shocked when I found out at the age of 30 that it wasnt her name.

  • @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.

  • @pufferfishish i did as well lol

  • Great theme tune along with dempsey and makepeace, cagney and lacey, knight rider, the equalizer......!

  • because of shows like this and the Gentle Touch I joined the police force! never quiet the same in real life but good memories

  • Sat with my mum and sister on the sofa back in the 80s. Innocent days in a way. Less bling, reality TV and Blackberry-based communication!

  • Great series,anna carteret play maam,god knows how i remember her name,watched this as a kid,great memories

  • 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!

  • Thanks a lot for this one. I'm from Lancashire and this program brings back a lot of memories.

  • Her daughter now plays the blonde friend in Outnumbered.....

  • Thanks for posting this, it brings back such happy memories of being a kid - Cheers

  • This theme tells you that the female side of policing isn't all bad and serious, it has it's pleasanter and gentle touch side too.

  • WPC's had nicer uniforms back then.

  • 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.

  • Im 37 now but when i watched this as a kid i fancied her alot, lol must have been the authoritive figure who knows why.

  • @MrAllsgood LMAO same here man...and I'm 3 yrs younger!!!

  • They dont get any smarter at acting dumber...

    Just shoot the Russian bitch in the head.

  • 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. :)

  • I have got this single in my collection! the music was written by Derek Groom.

  • @palexandersquires He arranged it but it is based on a classical composition, although I don't know who originally wrote it.

  • I have got this single in my collection!

  • Wonderful theme tune which is so memorable. Memories of Saturday night when this came on.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    It is available on DVD as far as I know.

    Hope that helps!

  • In fact I seem to remember they changed the actress who played her, the first one was the best. How sad am i???

  • Jesus!!! This is a blast from the past, I used to watch this with my brother, mum , and dad when I was a kid, it was great!

  • anna cartret still the best

  • Just Audio - you should say!  PLANK!

  • Memories of Saturday nights at home as a kid

  • Wouldnt hurt the BBC to show classics like this occasionally. Might start watching tv again. Most of todays programmes are complete rubbish.

  • @SilsdenCougar Hey i totally agree with you!!!!!!! saturday night line up should be:

    6.00-6.55pm Noel Edmonds Houseparty (or todays equivalent)

    7.00 - 7.50 Juliet Bravo

    8pm News

    8.25-9.25pm Causualty

    10 Pm News

    10.25pm hollywood Blockbuster

    12AM Night Viewing!!

  • BUT NO MORE OF THIS XFACTOR OR DANCING ON ICE!! Bring back Jasper Carrot or Phil Cool - no more of this reality tv crap!!

  • @MovieMad007 Thats the saddest listing ever. It should be

    1800 1900 Red dwarf

    1900 2000 Beavis and Butt-head

    2000 0000 Lesbian lovers Rated 18

    0000 0600 More porn

  • @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!!!

  • turners the top she 10/10

  • loved turners work , she was great shes the top ...

  • 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

  • Brilliant theme. One of the best. It's thanks to this programme I learnt the phonetic alphabet!!!

  • I LOVED THIS PRO ON A SAT IT WAS ACE

  • A quality show with good stories and believable old school coppers like Sergeant Beck.

  • i liked the series with Jean Darby

    after that i found it hard to watch .. couldnt warm to the one that came after :(

  • 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

  • "Evening Joe" >>>> "evenin Maam"

  • 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

  • It's OK, he only jumped in slow motion so they might have had time to get downstairs and put a trampoline in place to catch him.

  • I was only young when JB was on, but I've never forgotten that episode either.

  • What a great theme tune for a TV drama programme.

  • A great theme - really evocative of the era

  • wow uesd to watch this there move this in my own town a lot place called nelson and burnley lancashire

  • they also filmed this series in a bank in bury ,,,,madness

  • MISS IT A LOT

  • a brilliant groundbreaking police series. fantastic. i wonder what happened to Stephanic Turner and Anna Carteret. Never saw them again after.

  • Try googling them, see what happens.

  • Is this full version available on CD? I've looked everywhere and can't find it!

  • I have the full version as an mp3 if interested. let me know your email address and will try and email it to you. cheers

  • "I spent all night chasing after some bloke who turned out to be really mad, he had every episode of Juliet Bravo on tape! Really, really mad"

  • queer as folk,classic lines or the cd

  • indeed it is

  • I love this theme thanks for posting it, I've just turned 40 and this reminds me of my youth!!

    It's also the first time I've heard this full version - nice one!

  • @simonjayp so what. chimp

  • @simonjayp

    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.

  • Nice, but has anyone got a complete episode they can upload. Searched the internet but cannot find one at all???

  • you can buy the boxsets off ebay dont know if this is any help

  • Great, Appropriate and Memorable Theme. Classic!

  • Nice theme to represent the women police constables of the country.

  • If anyone has listened to Take That's 'The Circus' album - notably 'What Is Love?', there is an incredible likeness here..

  • 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

  • Wonderful nostalgia - thanks so much!

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

  • The first inspector was Jean Darblay who was replaced in series three by Kate Longton.

  • You'd be right. JB would have been the callsign prefix used by that constabulary or area - in the same way as SO is used in The Bill.

  • juliet bravo was brilliant i loved it

  • my thoughts as well

  • one of the best theme tunes ever.

  • Wow.

  • 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!!!!!

  • The rubbish thats on tv now, dont blame yer,good for you ,good taste ...r u s.t fan or k.l fan,???????.

  • Great music!

  • 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.

  • Does anyone have a midi file for this?  There's something about this that always makes me think of the ending of "Exciter" by Judas Priest

  • brilliant theme tune. set the standard for police drama. not sure who i prefer, jean darblay or kate longton. both good actresses. oh well.

  • classic theme tune... love it!

  • 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

  • It was gritty stuff.. I was only 8 when it started and didn't appreciate it until the Kate Longton years.

  • one of the best tv programmes of the 80s loved it its on bbc4 on sky on sunday nite cracking show and this music is fantastic.

  • Loved the theme tune, still do. My girlfriend looks like Stephanie Turner too...wish she had WPC uniform!

  • your girl looks like s turner how lucky you are.what a looker she is.or was though she still a looker at 64 ,

  • I'm 30 matey, my girlfriends 50 and looks about 40! V lucky indeed! ;)

  • Nice tune!

  • Hahaha. I thought I'm the only sad one who remember this. Love it. Stephanie Turner who played Jean Darblay looks like my childhood sweetheart. Sigh*

  • Excelent program,great music,bring it back!

  • I heard somewhere that the tune is based around a piece of classical music, don't know which one though.

  • The theme is an arrangement of a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), but I'm still trying to find out which piece it actually is.

  • 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.

  • ps it's on youtube.

  • Bach used that chord sequence frequently, especially in his preludes. I doubt it's the one you mention, and with which I'm familiar.

    I seem to remember reading that it was in fact an organ piece, but again I'm at a loss to find which one.

  • 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.

  • my dog likes Bach,goes woof woof to it!

  • Wow!! That's an awsome tune!! Thanks for posting!!!
