HI there, I played Janet Dickens for 2 years in the series (1981,82 and part 83) I have some of the series on tape but not sure how good the quality is now.

Good to hear that people enjoyed it!

This takes me back. TV was so good in those days, and only 3 channels too :-)

I'm pretty sure it was Blake's 7 (Season 3), as I was (and still am) an avid viewer of that show. Brings back good memories hearing this intro theme in any case.

@terrycharnley Ah no. that's just being pedantic. True BBC1 and BBC2 were run by the same company, but they were still 2 separate channels. Add ITV and you had the Big 3 that existed in the UK during the golden age of TV. I guess you don't work for a cable TV company? As they exaggerate about the number of channels all the time. So do SKY. I mean if you get a package of 200 channels, how many are shopping channels :-) Not real TV at all.

@ryalman21 Yes, less was better and sorry to sound so technical, but it was only two channels really, since bbc was split into 2 wasn't it, the more general bbc1 and the more educational bbc2 and all before the massive event of ch4. But yes, a lot of what showed then gives me goosebumps now, very haunting and memory provoking.

The graphic at the end is def Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry - demolished & replaced a few years ago.

Angels ran from 1976-1983 and it's a hospital drama series before Casulity.

@Dristarg

Yeah, looked that up subsequently. I can see where I was coming from, though...

[Dristarg]

@KaitainCPS No, this is called 'Motivation' by Alan Parker. "The Professionals" theme was by Laurie Johnson.

[KaitainCPS]

Was this composed by the same guy who did the theme to The Professionals? Has a very similar feel.

Remember this theme very well, because if memory serves, it was on right before either Star Trek or Blakes Seven in 1979/1980. (I think it was Star Trek.) So I used to watch the end credits every week!
