Phantom Limb!

While my parents are currently acting out a Norén play, I keep watching "Edge of Darkness" at home. When I first saw it in the 80s I thought it was brilliant and totally scary. Back then everything nuclear was super-frightening to me, but these days of course we have become inured to the terrors of fallout and mushroom clouds. Still, after half the show it's still pretty good.

But I always thought it had a different theme tune, a vaguely celtic song about a cold sea and a dark dark fisherman -- I must have got it mixed up with some other show around that time, or with a similar theme. Wonder what it was though. Does anyone else remember a theme tune with a line about a cold hand reaching out over the icy sea? From the mid-to-late 80s? Possibly about eco-crime?

And whatever happened to Joe Don Baker?

Fixed it! No one's ever commented before so I had no idea...
