Love this intro so much especially with the added 80's twinkle on the theme

I don't mind this, it was far better than what they did in 1988, but - nothing beats the original!

The car represents Noele Gordon. A old banger with a failed MOT heading for the scrapyard.

This theme is different to the one introduced in 1985. Slightly improved with additional instruments.

Too placid, lost its appeal, as that relaunch which I remembered well was most dull and flat, yet touched again on the many problems that we all sometimes have to endure in the real world.

If Philip Bowman had not messed with the theme tune when he took over and left it as it was before 1985, then Miss Dianes death episode and then the funeral episode would almost certainly have ended with the Paul McCartney and Wings version of the theme.

Absolutely. Philip Bowman really screwed up big time when he ditched the Tony Hatch original. He should have just left it as it was - sliding credits and all. Had he just left it alone, Miss Dianes death and funeral episodes certainly would have ended with the Paul McCartney and Wings version.

Not a great version of the original theme but never did a car (brown Austin Maestro) ever suit the opening credits and production values of a TV program so much. 😆😆

Looks more red to me, and it's an MG rather than an Austin, but I agree.
