I remember a series in the 1980's. The opening sequence was a car crash, with a shadowy figure stumbling away from a burning car. Don't know what channel it was on, but I do remember loving the music from the theme tune - something classical. The jist of the series was a man trying to find someone (possibly a relative) from the burning car
Although i cannot remember the name of the programme that opening sequence sounds very familiar and if its what i think it is the music was Dire Straits - "Private Investigations from the Love over Gold album. I hope we are talking about the same programme!
