Title: Perhaps this belongs in Napoleonics.

Am I alone in suspecting that terrible electric guitar theme from Sharpe was pinched from Buck Rogers?

Not unless Buck Rogers was going over the hills and far away for King George.

Not the unspeakable Irish tenor at the end, the electric guitar in the credits.

Well it sounds like a jazzed up version of the end credits.

 I wish they had used "Sharp dressed man" for the opening.

They can't.....It's my theme tune.

(Which reminds me. Recently.....I haven't had any of my retainer payments from any of the male fashion designer labels, for NOT wearing their products.)

ZZ Top were by far the best thing I saw on the Glastonbury coverage this weekend.

I never did understand the guitar.  If I recall correctly, it was the only very anachronistic element in the entire show so its inclusion does mystify me.

That's FAR too well dressed for yours truly !

And the hair only rates one out of ten for my personal scruff value.
