For two years, I searched for a recording of the theme tune to Torchy the Battery Boy. Now I have the videos. Here was the theme in Real Video to Torchy the Battery Boy ThemeTune. Sorry, I have been forced to remove the Real Video link.
Torchy Videos are very difficult to acquire. The programmes were aired on the Bravo satellite channel in the UK before that channel migrated from being an excellent nostalgia channel into being a seedy soft-pornographic channel.
That’s where I got mine from.

From time to time pirate videos are sold on ebay from the USA, but these are to the NTSC standard and will need to be dubbed to PAL in the UK. Quality is very poor.
Play suit from the collection of Peter Rice.. Thank you Peter.
