Listen through an authorised service

The embedded player is supplied by Apple Music; availability and playable previews vary by country and account. The site does not host or copy the recordings.

The 2009 soundtrack

The official album is dated 2009 and was released on 15 June. Contemporary descriptions say it concentrates on music from Series 3 while also including material heard earlier.

Can the site add programme video?

No official embeddable ITV trailer or full authorised behind-the-scenes upload has yet been verified. The guide will not re-upload DVD extras, broadcast clips or fan copies. If a rights holder publishes an embeddable video, it can be added here using that platform’s player.

What the score does

The music supports the programme’s tonal balancing act: legal jeopardy can give way to broad local comedy, then to the solitude of Peter’s family story. Coastal and pastoral colour keeps the fictional town emotionally connected to Norfolk.

A note for collectors

Digital storefront listings are evidence that an album existed, not a guarantee that it is currently purchasable in every region. Check the linked official storefront before relying on availability.
