Slightly off topic but can anyone tell me what the theme tune was for Pot Black? Thanks

Pot Black's theme tune was the ragtime classic Black and White Rag, composed by George Botsford and performed by Winifred Atwell.

Rememebered watching it when younger - always seem to be in a loop.

Got closer to No.1 and then the numbers changed - very odd -  also loved the psychedelic feel to it at times.

Who had one of these when they were younger?

I went to Portmeirion, where the series was filmed, in 2007 as a bit of a fan of the series. A very strange place and quite peculiar going round his bedroom which is now a gift shop, and having lunch in the Town Hall.

Well worth a visit, and probably why I prize my Moke above all the cars I have!
