Watching a bit of The Wright Stuff on Five this morning reminded me that the theme tune is the same as Saturday Kitchen on BBC Two, which I suppose is the problem of using non-exclusive library music.

The only other programmes I can think of at the moment which had the same theme were Grange Hill and Give Us A Clue.

Are there any others out there?

Hospital docu-soap Jimmy's had the same theme as one of the vets programmes - possibly Animal Hospital.

What was the theme for Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends originally used for?

Didn't Debbie Wiseman write the music for Animal Hospital?

'The Riverboat Song' by Ocean Colour Scene was what played when a guest walked across the platform into the main office on the show. That wasn't the main theme tune tho

Are you sure? I think they just sounded similar, because I always thought The Upper Hand was a reworked version of How Deep is Your Love?
