Confirmed by Veritas over on the Your Views board as follows...
Just realised ...Good News Week hosted by a good friend of mine Paul McDermott..massively big hit show and the song was used repeatedly all through it...
Didn't realise it was written by you and they credit you exstensively.

And neither did I at 19 Stevie; fortunately, thanks to great advice from Tony Hall, I signed with a production and publishing company who had the money (thanks to The Zombies) and the morality.
They offered me a partnership deal the moment I had a hit (Moon) and I was able to invest my monies from Moon in producing another song - It's Good News Week - and kick starting my own production career.
That song just earned me a hefty 5 figure sum cheque from royalties in Australia - it's the theme for one of the big Aussie TV series down under - true, Veritas? Which, in turn, has paid for the entire budget for my second movie - Me Me Me.

theres one other thing i can add to your brilliant formula - once you've written your hit song - make it into a record and sell a million copies.
& hey presto - you are bound to have a hit!
I'm going to do it tomorrow!
Thanks again....
Thanks Harry.
There are a few of problems with that: I can't sing, I don't have have a publishing deal, and I doubt my building society would lend me the money to pay for studio time, string arrangements and a talented sound engineer to make it happen....
