I absolutely loved Eldorado…as a teenager I was drawn to it’s sun,sea and lovely looking people(well most of them)it was a breath of fresh air from all the dark,drab depressing episodes of Emmerdale…Coronation Street & Eastenders.

The revamped TV Weekly - by then in 1993, Eamonn Holmes had taken over from Anne Diamond, who hosted it during the TVS era. Never knew Simon was behind the theme!

Simon also composed the original theme tune of ITV's short lived pop music show The Roxy.

I should mention another theme that could be added to this compilation. The Dream Must Stay Alive, the first season theme from The Tribe. Simon May also scored series 1 through 3.

Trainer was a series that did not really go down that well alas so then too of course. Although it lasted for two series, I remember that it was panned by much of the media then so too. I know that Marcus Berckmann, who wrote in the Daily Mail from 1990 to 1995, did a review that said why are we bothered with these characters, in a tv review column that he did there then at the time so too. Thank you anyway.
