@arwelp Ah - I didn't know! Thanks for the info, I'll update the description :)

Very interesting new version. One minor correction to the description - it was an ITV series, not BBC (yes, back then our commercial channel could come up with good programmes!).

Fantastic! I've been a fan of this show for nearly 30 years and this is the best cover of the theme I've ever heard. This made me check out a few other clips of your stuff online and you just sold yourself a CD. YouTube works!

Interesting take... Might go well with a run of Kosho!

@mikepenny01 How`s the TOUR Byeeowatch? Many have thought about things.

Unfortunately I have never had the mental capacity to join in on the thinking process.

How I long to be a thinker. But alas. my fate had been sealed into the realm of the thoughtless.and...It`s ALL YOUR FAULT PENNY!
