Tune Req: Lobey Dosser: Can anyone help?

Hello, I am new to your site and can't believe how interesting so far. I was wondering if anyone out there remembers Lobey Dosser, the newspaper comic strip which finally made the screen many years ago for a one off episode? Desperately searching for information on the theme tune from this. Specifically artist and lyrics.

Oh dear, what country are you in? I've never heard of it in the US.

A frankly bizarre Glasgow Cowboy who appeared in comic strips in the 1950s; never, so far as I know, outside Scotland. There's some discussion, and a link to a site with more information, in this earlier thread:  who remembers 'Loaby Dosser'?

I have no memory of this making it to the TV.

If you try asking folk here:

If you go the site above, click on the image of the scenery to enter...

And furthermore, some years back, a public subscription was taken up, and the statue illustrated was erected.

Bud Neill - the creator of Lobey, and the cast of characters: Rank Bajin, Ferry Nuff, Rid Skwerr, Big Chief Toffy Teeth et al - was a genius.

They have reprinted a couple of the Lobey Dosser series over the years.

I bought one last year.. I'll check and see who the publisher was

Here's an article at Wikipedia about Bud Neill, the creator of Lobey Dosser.

I don't see any mention of a one-off film or TV show, though.
