== Comment by Dirk Maggs ==
Bill Hootkins’ delivery of 'Faster Than a Speeding Bullet...' was matchless, done in one take for the docudrama celebrating Superman's 50th Birthday.

We later tried to re-record him doing ‘Faster Than a Speeding Bullet’ for ‘[[Superman - Doomsday & Beyond]]’ but he couldn’t quite get that edge again.

So, we always used that first take!

The opening string figure was a happy accident arrived at by playing with one of the BBC’s first sampling keyboards, stored at our audience studio, The Paris in London.

The main theme was a KPM music library track by Richard Harvey that just fitted perfectly.
