TFI Friday theme not lifted from 1970s UK series
“The theme from TFI Friday was in fact lifted from an existing UK 70s adventure series”
Summary
The TFI Friday theme tune is Ron Grainer’s music originally composed for the 1960s British series *Man in a Suitcase*, not for a 1970s adventure series. Therefore, the claim that it was lifted from a UK 70s adventure show is incorrect.
