Supermind (Series One Incidental Music Suite)

For the third episode of Jonathan Morris' spoof sci-fi sitcom 'Dick Dixon In The 21st Century', I created a 1981-style version of my theme tune, as if a TV producer had hastily tried to update the title sequence with a slapdash synth revamp.

All 3 episodes of Dick Dixon to date are available from www.averageromp.com, with the entire first episode plus previews of the others available on Spotify and other streaming platforms.

Darrell Maclaine Voice Acting Showreel 2022

A theme tune commissioned in 2019 for a proposed podcast looking at ITV's late-night weekend comedies. I wanted to go for an Art Of Noise/ZTT style thing, so with the exception of the percussion, all of the sounds were sampled from genuine period ITV idents and promos.

Sunday Best Theme

I created this Radiophonic-tinged arrangement of another composer's theme from the author Joel Cornah's previous book campaign. I recorded all the guitars and some of the reverbs backwards so it's never quite clear if the track is playing the right way round or not.

The Sky Slayer (Book Trailer Music)

Spoof theme tune created for unmade radio comedy parodying 1970s police show imports. I'm probably 'doing' Mike Post here!

1970s Cop Show

A fake intro for The Benny Hill Show recorded for Jonathan Morris' 2022 play 'When Michael Met Benny'. For this I recreated the famous Thames ident, recorded a Henry McGee-style intro, composed the intro for a comedy song, and stitched it all together. For the final dub it was necessarily shortened and obscured, but here is the full clip I created.

Benny Hill Intro (When Michael Met Benny)

A suite of linking and incidental music from the 2022 Stephen Wyatt radio play "Me & Him & Who", about the relationship between John Nathan-Turner and Gary Downie. The main theme is based around an original pastiche of 'It's Not Where You Start It's Where You Finish' from Seesaw, and the left and right hand parts in the piano arrangements for each musical link respond to where the couple's relationship is at that point in the story.

Me & Him & Who is available to purchase on CD here:
