Theme One is a 1967 instrumental piece by George Martin, used from 1967 until the mid-1970s as the opening and closing theme tune for BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2. Theme One was first played on Radio 2, immediately before Radio 1 began broadcasting independently, on the launch day of both stations, 30 September 1967 (The Move's "Flowers in the Rain" was the first record played in full on Radio 1).
