Hugh Fraser tells how the show's producer asked the band if they would write the theme. It was Fraser who came up with the melody, using his friend's wooden flute. His fellow band member did the guitar chords and, after lyrics were written, the band recorded the theme with a 24-track mixer in a studio at Thames Television.

This is a different recording to the one used in the TV show. If you compare them closely, the broadcast version has more octave slurring on the flute, is a slightly slower tempo, the drums are louder and have an open hihat in the pattern, the backing vocal harmony stack is totally different, and the lead vocal is much more relaxed and close-mic'ed. Also there's a 16th rest between the words "climbing" and "high", and the fuzz guitar section is generally much heavier. It's still amazing to hear this version and the rest of the original song, but I'd LOVE to hear a high quality dub of the actual recording session used for the TV show.
