Renaissance the paper lads
The Paper Lads is a children's television series produced by Tyne Tees Television and broadcast from 1977 to 1979. There were two series made; each of seven episodes. It was set in Newcastle upon Tyne and recounted the adventures of a group of newspaper delivery boys and girls.
The signature tune of the series, "Back Home Once Again", was performed by progressive rock band Renaissance, and it appears (re-recorded) as a full-length song on their 1978 album A Song For All Seasons.
Network Video released the first episode on their collection "Look-Back on '70s Telly - Issue 2".
The full series was released on Network DVD on 29 July 2013.
Two novels by William Humble based on the series were released by Target Books.
