In the 1970s it was a novelty to see black characters on TV so a show that prominently featured a black family was a must see. It was a much more intelligent show than Love Thy Neighbour and wasn't overtly racist.I heard Peter Davison interviewed on the radio a few years ago and he mentioned that he wrote some TV themes and Button Moon was mentioned but I didn't realised that he also wrote the one for Mixed Blessings. In fact, the theme is what I remember most about the series and I could probably sing the entire theme song today even though it was so long ago, I must have been in junior (or even infant) school at the time.</blockquote>
