I found this blog while looking to find out who wrote the haunting theme tune and I learn that it is Guy Dagul. It is a pity there is no recording of it on its own but you have to play one of the episodes on Youtube in order to hear it.Teresa Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868478036425205286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-21833779866825642372018-11-10T06:33:56.593+00:002018-11-10T06:33:56.593+00:00I couldn't agree with you more...I loved watch...I couldn't agree with you more...I loved watching this series.. and thought about it the other day. ..and decided to watch it all over again on YouTube. I'd love to see a catch up programme about all the characters. ..I wonder what has become of them all ?

They could easily have gone 'The girl off Paddington Green...' but she really shed that with her stint on Casualty (and anyone who had to pretend Maxwell Caulfield with his atrocious wig was attractive is one seriously good actor if you ask me!) and she was brilliant in the gripping, grim Marian Again - shame that never gave her more leading roles really.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-52900440631053840972015-10-13T18:26:06.564+01:002015-10-13T18:26:06.564+01:00Yeah, I used to enjoy the docusoaps when they firs...Yeah, I used to enjoy the docusoaps when they first came out and weren't about creating celebrities, but they did become too prevalent on our screens. I think The Office probably helped hammer a few nails into their coffins too.Ben Rickettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01749284122022718064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-27486078407274623322015-10-13T15:15:02.971+01:002015-10-13T15:15:02.971+01:00Thanks for the tip off that this is on YT.

I used to love the old docusoaps and a few years back they did do a week long reunion of some of them - Lakesiders, Airport and Castaway spring to mind - but I don't think Paddington Green was included. It's a real shame that this kind of reality TV was done away with by the likes of Big Brother and X Factor, but you could understand that by the early 00s we really had reached saturation point with them. Curiously I think they're making a thinly disguised comeback these days with the likes of Ladykillers: Pest Detectives and Pound Shop WarsMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.com
