The programme's famous theme tune was Trevor Duncan's march from A Little Suite, performed by the Light Music Society Orchestra, the other two movements from the Suite were often used as background music. The characters from the series are also featured in a song entitled Dr. Finlay by Andy Stewart, which scored a minor Top 50 hit in 1965.

From 1970 until 1978, episodes from Dr. Finlays Casebook were broadcast on BBC Radio 4 with some of the same actors from the television programme.

  • All our senses provoke memories of the past--a sound not heard for years, a great smell of food, or flowers, even wood smoke/ dry grass burning ( my favourite) and suddenly your back there---Immediately I heard those openning bars, I was back in my 20's watching the opening credits to this very popular long running TV series--on a small black & white set---the opening credits with the little 30's car travelling along the narrow lanes and up the hill towards us--great !

  • An old joke I remember: Och Doctor Cameron, I've got heartburn again! Aye, I've told ye before Janet; keep yer tits oot the porridge.
