===Music and title sequences===
The [[theme music]] was composed by Peter Davis (who after the second series composed the rest of the series alone as principal composer), [[John Mealing]] and John G. Perry.<ref name="petford"/> The opening titles show the main characters striking a pose, with the name of the respective actor in a typewriter style typeface. Steven Moffat and Julia Sawalha were not very impressed with the opening titles when discussing them for a DVD commentary in 2004.<ref name="Moffcomm"/> They were re-recorded for series three, in the same style, to address the actors' ages and alterations to the set.

Many of the closing titles in the first two series were accompanied by dialogue from two characters. Episodes that ended on a particularly sombre tone, such as "Monday-Tuesday"<ref name="m-t">{{cite episode |title=Monday-Tuesday |series=Press Gang |credits=wr. Steven Moffat, dir.

Lorne Magory |network=ITV |airdate=29 March 1990 |series-no=2 |number=11}}</ref> used only appropriately sombre music to accompany the end credits. After an emphatic climax, "At Last a Dragon" used an enhanced version of the main theme with more extravagant use of electric guitar. Moffat felt that the voiceovers worked well in the first series, but that they were not as good in the second. Hastie recalls that Moffat was "extremely angry" that ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]'' had adopted the style. They were dropped after the second series.<ref name="hastie"/> The cast, according to Moffat, were "grumpy with having to turn up to a recording studio to record them."<ref>Steven Moffat & Julia Sawalha "At Last a Dragon" ''Press Gang: Series 2'' DVD audio commentary</ref>
