Public Eye (Alfred Burke) 1969 Theme Edit

Only three years after my previous effort (   • Public Eye (Alfred Burke) - original theme...  ), here is the opening and closing credits to the 1969 sereis of "Public Eye", edited together as one continuous piece. The "Thames" ident at the beginning plus the logo at the end were excised, making the timing pretty much perfect. This version of Robert Earley's theme was used excusively for the 1969 series. Frank Marker is released from Ford Open Prison, having been incacerated for possession of stolen good at the end of the previous series which ended in 1968. This was prior to the ITV Regions shake-up which saw the creation of Thames Television from an enforced merger of Rediffusion and ABC for the London Region, leaving doubt as to what - if any - ABC series like "Public Eye", Callan", and more would be produced. In the event, "Public Eye" was one series Thames revived, using his release from Ford Open Prison to focus on Frank, the stark use of monochrome capturing the world-weary melancholy of his life while examining how to survive in a life that is becoming ever-more chaotic and cynical. His tough re-emergence into the world takes place just before the 60's stopped swinging (if they truly ever did) is neatly juxtaposed against the seaside backdrop of Brighton, just in time for the decade's transformation into the serious and cynical Seventies. Robery Earley's originally theme tune was sparse but at least carried a downbeat jazzy rhythm. His revised 1969 arrangement marked Frank's new start by stripping out any sense of rhythm and losing percussion and plucked double bass to leave a lone trombone mournfully wail the melody. And that's only punctuated by occasional 6ths, 7ths and 9ths guitar chord strums plus rare piano stabs adding tension. It my praise seems over-the-top, it isn't because it reflects Frank's emptiness of existence to perfection.
