The Bill TV Theme

- I am a fan of The Bill and decided to try remaking The Bill Theme Tune
It has had a few reiterations over the years but they are mostly based on a 7/4 time signature with some 4/4. It was a tricky one to work out. This is a bit of a departure from my usual stuff and more of a personal challenge.
The video includes many of the opening sequences over the years.
The original 1984 arrangement of The Bill Theme Tune"Overkill" was released as a 7" vinyl single in 1985. It featured a 'B' side containing the track "Rock Steady", which was also written by Pask/Morgan. The vinyl was distributed by Columbia Records. "Overkill" was unusual among television theme tunes in its rhythm, as it was written in a relatively uncommon seven-beat rhythm.
On 2 July 2009, it was announced that "Overkill" was to be dropped in favour of a brand new, more dramatic theme tune when the show moved to a 9pm timeslot at the end of that month. Series producer Tim Key stated that this new tune would contain two motifs of "Overkill", but these would be very subtle. The new theme, along with the revamp, had been poorly received by many viewers. British team of composers 'Simba Studios' had scored the new 9pm episodes. In the closing credits of the final episode, this theme was reworked; this time, however, it was more akin to "Overkill".

Well done, man. Goes without saying at this point but still, so well done

I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with this at all. Great job on how detailed all the sounds are. We will just have to wait for you to create music soundtracks for new TV shows coming out.

Nice sharing
Thank you glad you enjoyed 😀👍
Big Likeee 38 for you my friend 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏💣😎🤘
Thanks Su you’re a legend 👍👍
It is actually coming back
Gold I’m excited 😀👍
Love de 7/4 + 4/4, actually there is a fantastic video called "songs that use 7/4 time" that you can find amazing songs using that tempo. I must confess I never heard about "The bill" before, but I like the tune,👏👏👏
Cheers mate yes interesting time. I know Money snd Tubular Bells are in this signature and the version I did of Tenebre is 5/4 which was very strange
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney love those odd times, when I play Money on drums is like if I am "flying out of the song", but then back to tempo. I did an intro of "Missing you" in 7/4 and it sounds like if I am counting wronly but is not. Anyway buddy.....
I must check that out. Cheers mare
দারুন লাগলো👌💐 খুব সুন্দর ভিডিও ! দারুন ভালো কাজ। অনেক ধন্যবাদ আপনাকে খুব ভালো থাকবেন🌹💯✅🤝💞💞
Thanks friend have a terrific weekend 👍
This brought back some memories, you got The Bill in the States then? Fantastic sounding keyboards, very 80s. I used to love all the American cop shows like HIll Street Blues, Kojak, Columbo, Starsky & Hutch and Hawaii Five-0 (now I am showing my age haha). 7/4 time makes my brain hurt lol :)
I’m actually English and live in Australia where there are always repeats. My favourite was The Professionals and Grange Hill 😂 your only showing your age a little bit 😀👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney Oh yeah it was definitely repeats for me too lol! My kids watch zero TV just always on their computers :) It says United States on your 'about' page but I thought I'd seen someone mention Australia on your channel. Have you lived there a long time because you seem to like a lot of British bands :) Sorry if I'm being nosey.
That’s ok. I came out here from uk when I was 10. I turn 50 April Fools Day🤣👍
@@LeeroysMusicalJourney Not long to go!
No will soon be officially old 😀👍
