Does anybody remember an early 80s tv series called The Paperchase, set in an Ivy League law school (Harvard?). i remember James T Hart, Anderson, Ford and Professor Kingsfield/Kingsley. It was a spin off from a film. I loved the theme tune 'the first years are hard years, much more than we know....'. i have tried everywhere to find the music with no luck, and have yet to come across anybosy who remembers the series. Did I imagine it?????

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077058/ is the show you remember. I don't recall too much about it, other than the fact the my mother used to watch it every week (on BBC2 I think) I don't recall the theme music, though.
I used to love that series.John Houseman played Professor Kingsfield in the film and the TV series, as for the music you could try the forum on IMDB.
i have no idea why, but my head is saying that the theme tun was Uncle Johns Band by the Grateful Dead......
Absolutely loved it. When I went to uni I was in awe of my lecturers (for at least half an hour anyway) just in case they spoke to me like Kingsfield spoke to his students. Maybe it could be repeated on Sky?

hi craby1uk - I didn't know who the artist was, I'll try the peer2peer networks and post again if I find it!
Hi again... good news got a download of the music from www.themeexchange.com after a lot of searching there are 2 versions apparently. Cost me $2.
