As Ralph & Katie arrives on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, viewers will be reconnecting with some of their favourite characters<\/a> from The A Word, seeing some of the new cast members for the first time and taking in the stunning Lake District scenery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The series is a six-part comedy drama, with each episode exploring a different scenario and facet of the titular characters\u2019 lives together, now that they are settling into married life and living independently.<\/p>\n

The show also features a lively and memorable musical score, and with episodes set at both Valentine\u2019s Day and Christmas, there are of course romantic and festive hits sprinkled in.<\/p>\n

But exactly which songs are featured across the series, and who are they by? Read on for a list of all of the songs featured in Ralph & Katie<\/a>.<\/p>

Ralph & Katie composer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The series\u2019s musical score has been composed by Adrian Johnston, who has plenty of previous experience when it comes to creating atmospheric and suitably iconic musical themes for TV series.<\/p>\n

His previous work has included composing the scores for Strike, Giri\/Haji, Four Lives<\/a>, Summer of Rockets and Dancing on the Edge.<\/p>\n

However, while it is predominantly Johnston\u2019s music heard throughout the series\u2019s six episodes, the majority of them also include some use of commercial tunes. You can find a full list of them below.<\/p>\n
