When does Remember Me start on BBC One?

The air date and time for episode 1 of this brand new three-part drama has been scheduled for Sunday 23 November 2014 at 9:00pm on BBC1. Written by Gwyneth Hughes, the series is a supernatural mystery thriller/ghost story.

Plot

Tom is a frail ‘eighty-odd’ year old Yorkshireman living alone in an otherwise entirely Asian community. After successfully tricking social services into putting him in a home, a number of inexplicable events begin to occur with Tom becoming the only witness to a violent death.

What’s the name of the Remember Me BBC theme music played during the opening credits?

The theme tune sung at the start of the show is a version of a song called ‘Scarborough Fair’. Apart from being used for the series opening and closing music, Scarborough Fair also goes on to play a key part in the shows storyline.

Here’s another version of the song, this time sung by actress Amy Nuttall:
