Edwin Astley (1922–1998) was a British composer, occasionally credited as Ted Astley. His best known works are British television themes and scores, most notably the theme to The Saint, and Danger Man. He also successfully diversified into symphonic pop and an arrangement of his Saint theme reached number five in the UK Singles Chart.
Astley was born in Warrington, Lancashire, and served in the Second World War as a musician playing saxophone and clarinet for the troops.
Astley married Hazel Balbirnie in 1945. Their eldest daughter Karen Astley married Pete Townshend of The Who, and their son Jon Astley produced and remastered The Who's reissues. Daughter Virginia Astley is a singer-songwriter.
In the early 1950s Astley was arranging for Geraldo, and his song "I Never Could Tell" was recorded by both Vera Lynn and Richard Tauber. His own band, the Ted Astley Orchestra, became well known in the north of England, and he wrote songs for performers such as Anne Shelton.
The Saint may refer to:
"The Saint" is a theme tune for The Saint composed first as a whistled melody by author Leslie Charteris himself, before being expanded by Edwin Astley 1962, and later Brian Dee, Irving Martin, and Orbital in television and film versions.
The third season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent premiered in the United States on NBC on September 28, 2003 and ended May 23, 2004. The DVD was released in the United States on September 14, 2004.
Samantha Buck temporarily replaced Kathryn Erbe while she was on maternity leave. (Though Kathryn temporarily appeared in a few episodes until her return.) Buck appeared as G. Lynn Bishop from episode 5, "Pravda" through episode 11, "Mad Hops."
Tune officially known as "High Wire" - The second theme used for the 60's TV series featuring the late Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake. Known as Secret Agent in the US.
I don't really like when a film's musical soundtrack is cut from a composite print with dialogue and music and the editor cuts out all the dialogue. Usually these "mutilation edits" as I call them are terrible. I have done a few in my time. I got rid of them except the 20 minute suite from House on Haunted Hill which has over 15,000 views on YouTube and now this suite of Edwin Astley's marvelous score from the 1962 Hammer Film, The Phantom of the Opera. I believe I trimmed 2 "Christines" from Edward de Sousa. There are sound effects too. Being that the original music tapes are gone and no M&E track has surfaced, this will have to do. I hope you all enjoy this. Joan's Aria is absolutely beautiful. Maybe one day this wonderful score will surface or maybe it will be re-recorded. One can only...

Simon Templar "The Saint" is the character that made Roger Moore a household name after getting recognition playing the lead role in the "Ivanhoe" TV series, broadcast between 1958 and 1959. The original series was broadcast between 1962 and 1969, and British composer Edwin Astley wrote the three different themes used during the series' run: The original version was used as the intro theme between 1962 and 1965, when the series was filmed in black and white. When color arrived to the series in 1966, a new, more uptempo version of the theme tune arrived as well. In 1968, Astley wrote a new theme based on Leslie Charteris' own theme music, previously used on radio and in films (Charteris is the creator of the Simon Templar character and stories). Here you can hear the second version of the ...
Filmed on location at and around the St Lawrence Seaway, this one-season 1965 drama was a Canadian-British coproduction. Stephen Young (who would become a familiar face on US television) played an investigator for a ship owner, working with the Seaway police. The show attracted guests stars like Barry Morse, Faye Dunaway, and Richard Thomas. Britain's ITC distributed the show but didn't like the title sequence, so they made a new one and had Edwin Astley write the music. There were a couple of two-part episodes that were filmed in color; at least one of them had a different opening with different music. Commenter Victor Field confirms this is the original Canadian opening sequence; some sources list John Bath as its composer, though it doesn't sound much like his other music (there is no o...

A British-Australian co-production, this Western styled series starred Peter Graves played as an American who created a stagecoach line in 1850s Australia. In the US it aired via syndication. Despite the distinctive Australian locations and Graves' fame from starring in 'Fury' it only ran a single season. The theme, by Edwin Astley ('The Saint'), was sung by Frank Ifield. Do you think maybe it was inspired a bit by the Frankie Laine hit of a two years earlier, 'Rawhide'?

This is the soundtrack to kill your stepfather
Leave the faggot unconscious and douse him in Goldschlager
Light the match, now kick him till he holler
Kick him harder, he only had forty dollars
Jump in your moms whip your face dripping
Leave the tabs alone, no such thing as safe tripping
Bumps of K help explain what's inside you
Look in the rear-view, he's still dragging behind you
Pull it over, you skidded off half his shoulder
Pouring rain you can still smell the blood odour
Think of all the shit he put your mom through
He's half dead, it's already starting to calm you
Tell him to bite the curb then kick till it's heard
Read the papers nerd, stepfather massacred
Start to laugh, you know it's alright
Cause when they questioned your moms you was sleeping all night
Three in the chest, I saw him drop
The only time that I ever called him pop
Two in his back while he's dead on the ground
One more in the head because he made a little sound
Ran out of bullets so I used the blade
Wear rubber gloves cause he might have AIDS
Better call home because I'll be late for supper
Sorry mom, I just killed this mother fucker
Cut school cause you like fuck school
Mom fuck you, I'll throw you into a truck too
Keep my drugs, I can sneak in more
Let's all go rob my stepfather's sneaker store
I got the codes and pluis the new shocks in
Nobody's watching so jail ain't an option
Fuck trust, tried to kill my family twice
Stupid mother fuckers trying to raise an anti-christ
I steal from the bitch that shit me in the ditch
And plot the death of the fag that said he'd make her rich
In dish washing gloves, anger starts to flood
At gun point, got mom wrapping the carcus up
See through stab wounds, a barbeque at dad's tomb
Barbeque chicken, I can tell mom is glad too
Meet you in the car, rolled the haze
Rubbing my full stomach while I pissed on his grave
Three in the chest, I saw him drop
The only time that I ever called him pop
Two in his back while he's dead on the ground
One more in the head because he made a little sound
Ran out of bullets so I used the blade
Wear rubber gloves cause he might have AIDS
Better call home because I'll be late for supper
Sorry mom, I just killed this mother fucker
Put me on a pins petition, man listen
My mom might slip in your blood and die in the kitchen
My hands itching to push the blade then my fist in
Pop out your back knocking your spine out of position
Parts missing while they scoop you off the ground
The class clown ready to pull the mask down
Empty the gun, then it's time to reload
Mapping out his murder, pissing for my P.O
Get home, he's on the couch running his mouth
Walked up to him and put his own gun in his mouth
His mouth painted the wall, he's still standing waiting to fall
Heard a car pull up, I shoud've stayed at the mall
