"The Only kids TV theme-tune which features a bit of freestyle scatting, 'Bod' was a proper little oddity that saw everyone's favourite Playschool jazz-man Derek Griffiths producing 23 seconds of swing influenced catchiness. Starting with frantic flute and collapsing amongst shoulder shrugging piano and strings, 'The Bod Theme' is border-line avant garde; clearly the intention when listening to the extensive interview about the composition with Griffiths included here. Released to mark the 30th anniversary of his initial TV appearance and 40 years since the original books, 'Bod - Words and Music' also includes interviews with the creator's daughter, a clutch of stories narrated by John Le Mesurier and all the incidental characters signature themes."
