    Its neither but your man is almost right.

    The theme is Handbags and Gladrags (which was originally done by Rod Stewart.) However it is the Sterophonics version of it that is used as the theme.

    man still doesn't believe it - he reckons that the link does not actually state that it was the stereophonics, just that they have covered it. ;) Aaarrgh men!!

    Wow can't believe that I always thought it was Sterophonics.

    Rod stewart version was on his first solo album An Old raincoat won't ever let you down. Released 1970.
