I am trying to identify a rock track played briefly in an episode of Heartbeat screened on ITV3 recently (within the past 2 months approximately) and have tried ITV Player but no trace of the episode.

It's Series 6, episode 5 called "Something Of Value" in which the theft of rare wines is suspected to be an inside job and connected to other thefts involving the same haulage firm. Alf is in debt with a gambling club in Whitby and the haulier holds his IOUs and uses them to avoid arrest for the thefts. The haulier hides the boxes of wine in an old outbuilding on Lord Ashfordleigh's Estate. Claude gets his hands on two bottles of rare port from it and sells them to Gina in the pub. All this might ring a bell with someone and will confirm the episode I am talking about?

The track I am interested in was played briefly about mid-way through the episode and features a upbeat piece of guitar rift and cymbal work and the full song (NOT the clip) has a part of a lyric similar to "my hair is greasy and my legs are thin"music

It's driving me crazy as I keep hearing the clip running through my mind and the only lyric I can remember from the track is the one given grrrrr!!!!

I have searched various Heartbeat music compilation CDs but cannot recognise the track in question nor can I find a listing of music tracks used for each episode (which would have been too easy). frown

Yeah I know it's a long shot but someone out there may have the DVD of the series/episode from which they might be able to identify it for me. thumbup

No probs smile It's quite a distinctive line, if you had typed up a different one then I probably wouldn't have got it!

As it was I only got the bit about my legs are thin correct and that was the lyric that kept swirling around in my mind together with that memorable rift rofl

As you say, it's a distinctive line. smile

I love Heartbeat me cloud9 it's a simple, lovely little show that you can lose yourself in for an hour.

The music soundtrack is always A1 - whoever chooses the tracks does a good job!

I love the Yorkshire scenery too - and of course, the real stars are all the old cars and bikes!

It takes you back to a simpler life; even without Rose Tinted Specs it still brings back fond memories of the past and a period I would genuinely return to if given half a chance.

I know! In amongst a sea of vacuous 'reality TV', endless 'talent shows', depressing rubbish like East Enders and dreadful imported American soaps - it has the ability to transport you to a really calm, lovely, serene place of relaxation and escape!

It was used in a Doctor Who episode "Spearhead in space", 1970. And in Jerry Maguire in 1996.

Lindsay Buckingham does a great version on the Fleetwood Mac Live album from around 1980 and also does a cracking version of So Afraid. Though it features some of the weaker Tusk tracks, it's one of the better live albums in terms of performance and recording quality.

You do realise that the Lindsay Buckingham/Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac is virtually a comletely idifferent band to the 'Oh Well' (1968) era band? The only leftovers are John McVie on bass and Mick Fleetwod on drums. IMHO the 1967-1970 Fleetwood Mac is infintely superior to anything that came afterwards.

yes

I always refer to the 67-70 band as "Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac". I often wonder how McVie & Fleetwood could go from that sort of music to making pop songs...

Quite sad when you look at the story really, not only Peter but Danny too.
I got this quite a few years ago now, had no idea it was no longer available: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Horizon-Sessions-Flee...
Worth getting if you can get your hands on it. Theres a "live at the bbc" 2 disc album too.

Yes I do and I partially agree though like any group, they had crap tracks as well as the great ones. Buckingham and Nicks also wrote some great songs though.
