    Fortunately, this instrumental song

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4Crh6V6rEw

    was in a playlist of the best British TV themes of all time (it was
    the theme to the children's show Vision On) or I think it would have
    been very hard for me to find it again!

    Ironically, 'Vision On' was a show aimed at deaf children.

    True, but I think there was some intention to have hearing and deaf
    children both watch it, to build bridges.

    When I first looked for this song, I looked at the oeuvre of the
    musical group The Left Banke. The only thing I saw there that I
    remembered was "Walk Away, Renee", which certainly wasn't what I was
    looking for.

    However, when I found what I want, and searched further for the best
    version, the mystery of why my foggy memory sent me in that direction
    was also solved.

    Another piece of theme music from Vision On is also fondly remembered:
    the "Gallery Theme". This was originally by the musical group the
    Noveltones, and it's name was... Left Bank Two.
