Shakespeare And Hathaway

[catswhiskas]

Can any one say if theme tune for above programme is the same as rosemary and Thyme ?

[sunny-dave]

Cut from the same cloth - but not the same - the S&H one is perkier.

Good series I think?

Thanks, catswhiskas - I hadn't noticed the similarity before & it was interesting to compare the themes.

The theme is "Rosemary and Thyme Caprice for guitar and orchestra." composed by Christopher Gunning



and is one arrangement of the the Scarborough Fair ballad

Can't say about the theme, but I swear the incidental music is recycled from Father Brown or The Coroner.

I agree postdog, reminded me of The Coroner theme. Shame they are not doing any more of that.
