Can anyone tell me which TV programme had a theme tune that went "So you want to be a boxer"?

Isn't it from the film Bugsy Malone?  The one where all the kids play the parts of gangsters?

Can't say I've heard it on a TV prog but I daresay someone has.

The only programme I can recall with a tune with the above line is is from Bugsy Malone.  It's a tune sung in Fat Sam's Speakeasy. 

I can vaguely recall a program (comedy?) using the song as its theme. It would have been the early 80s, shown around 7pm on a weeknight and maybe about boxing (you would think!).

Also, in the film Bugsy Malone, the song was sung when Leroy Smith tries out as a boxer for Cagey Joe at his Gym.

It just came to me - "Seconds Out" starring Robert Lindsay.

Link to the BBC 

It's used in a TV commercial at the moment too, for Cheezy String, I think.
