the "coming of age" production team joined forces with "bbc introducing", a bbc-wide project that supports unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar artists and djs, to find the original theme tune and sound for the show. they held a competition for six up-and-coming artists including kategoes, to write a theme tune for the show from a written specification. kategoes won and the theme was recorded in the studio of richie webb whose credits include "that mitchell and webb look" and "comedy shuffle", to create the final theme tune for the show.
