Tv Theme Tune

[purr]

I wonder if anyone can remember the TV programme which had, as part of it's theme tune, the following lyrics:

"I'm the lord and master of all I survey, I might even own my own house one day"

(or very similar)

I think it may have also followed on to include "over the hill and I'm not yet retired" - but this might be something totally different!

It has been doing my head in all last night (had an insomnia attack, the things you think of while lying there trying to get to sleep...) and all through today.

Help!

Is the bit about being over the hill and not yet retired not from One Foot In The Grave?

PURR try counting sheep** its much better for EWE...............or stroking will make you PURR..................



**I'LL send some up if you want them!!!............. :lol:

Ah, not sure, but I know the whole thing is definitely not One Foot In The Grave (I'm 99 per cent sure anyway) - it's that first bit which is driving me mad. I know I should have better things to think about, but I can't get rid of it!

They say I might as well face the truth
That I am just too long in the tooth
So I'm an OAP5 and weak- kneed
But I have not yet quite gone to seed
I may be over the hill now that I have retired
Fading away but I've not yet expired
Clapped out, run down, too old to save
One Foot in the Grave
