The opening credits of each episode featured a cartoon from the magazine "Punch", and the lettering was drawn by the graphic designer Terry Griffiths. The theme tune was composed by Alexander Faris and entitled "The Edwardians". It won an Ivor Novello Award. Part of this tune would be made into the song "What Are We Going to Do with Uncle Arthur?", sung by Sarah, with lyrics written by Alfred Shaughnessy. Pauline Collins released this as a single in 1973. The theme tune was also used as the processional march for the church wedding of Elizabeth and Lawrence in series 1, Episode 13: "For Love of Love".
