It is undoubtedly good value for money but as with so many TV themes, although the music is catchy and memorable it is just as often entirely disposable. However, every once in a while a composer will rise well above the occasion and produce something that transcends the inherent limitations of the field and there are several such examples on offer here. Edwin Astley's Dangerman, Barry's The Persuaders, Ron Grainer's The Prisoner to name just three, deserve to be celebrated and savoured and all in all there is a solid array of attractive material that will have most fans humming along with a smile on their faces. If you hanker after a trip down TV's memory lane look no further than this. Mark Hockley
