Border’s best-known networked programme of the era! The presenter is Derek Batey and I’m thinking Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent for the title music…but do comment if you know better!
Mr & Mrs titles – Border TV programme – 1983
Mr & Mrs – or, as it is likely to be called today, in these enlightened days of civil partnerships, Mr & Mr & Mr & Mrs & Mrs & Mrs – a gay couple, a heterosexual couple and a lesbian couple in that order (forgive my political incorrectness – just a way of balancing things out!).
Much better than the current version
In the Welsh TV area the presenter was Alan Taylor
Sounds like Manhattan Transfer sang it
You are absolutely correct. Tony and Jackie.

Batey also fronted (and produced) Look Who's Talking for much of the network (Lookaround had its own, fairly small, studio for many years before moving into studio 1 at Harraby)
Border announcer Pat Doody provides the voiceover.
