The synthesizer music is a tune titled "Holy Mackerel!", written by Brian Bennett, drummer with The Shadows. For many years it was used as the theme of the BBC sport show 'Rugby Special', and it can be found on the CD 'BBC Sporting Themes'. The Aussie con artists appeared in two episodes. The cheerful theme that accompanied them added a more lightweight element to the otherwise hard-edged show. The other music associated with them is a piece of ragtime played on piano, which defies identfication; it may be library music.
