Thank you for uploading this! Could somebody please post the lyrics? My English is too bad to understand every single word :-(.

the video is subtitled, just click the box with the up arrow, and click on "turn on captions"

I wasnt gonna mention this but since in your last annotation you asked for any corrections...well John Comer died of throat cancer rather then lung cancer and thats why he had to have his lines dubbed. Other then that you did real well to bring out the spirit of this fine series. There is something about the melody that starts each episode that seems to mean something to all of us, peace, tranquility, nature & nostalgia. The words in this rendition only furthers that effect.

thanks...I've corrected that annotation. Glad you like the video

Yep,,,Bill Owen (Compo) wrote the lyrics. Beautiful indeed.

[geordieboy56]

Actually, Roy Clarke wrote these lyrics (first used on the 1981 xmas special "Whoops", then on this special, and rewritten by Clarke for Compo's Funeral episode).

Bill Owen did write some lyrics for the tune, but they was never used in the programme.

Nora Batty is a scary thing you would like to get on the wrong side of her lol

A lovely theme with touching lyrics a great gentle sitcom that will be watched by generations to come while many cynical crude ones will be forgotten.

@J20M07 it's also meant to be nostalgic, hence the song!

[J20M07]

That's an incredibly depressing song for what's meant to be a comedy programme :(

[penninefilms]

That's a rely nice song they shed have put it on the TV series
