      Minus the burning hatred aspect, I bought the CD single of National Express for similar reasons: there's a stunning cover of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity on the b-side.

        For once, I concur. There’s a Chart Music podcast that showcases the Dancehall version. Quite something.

          Using a slowed down or minor key version of your main theme as the closing theme seems a bit of a cheat to me. I remember The Young Doctors [cough] doing the same thing.

          The US broadcast of Danger Man (Secret Agent) used the Danger Man theme (High Wire) as closing theme and Johnny Rivers' Secret Agent Man as the main theme. So I reckon that wins.

            Blackadder II. Neither mature nor brilliant, but fantastic nonetheless.

            And the closing credits of the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, which uses the slowed down theme tune to maximum effect.
