Following tours with Depeche Mode and Kim Wilde, they had a hit in France with their single, "Jamie". The band released their only album, ''Hold On'', in 1983. His first television work was the animation ''Coconuts'' (ITV 1990).〔(Did he write it? Yes Paul did! ''The Herald'', 15 Aug 2009 )〕 He has since written music for numerous TV series and films: BBC series ''Noddy's Toyland Adventures'' (BBC TV 1992-99), ''The Worst Witch'' (ITV 1998-2000), ''(The Snow Queen )'' (BBC 2005), ''Philbert Frog'' (BBC 1993), ''Clay'' (BBC 2008), ''Diggit'' (ITV 1993-2001), ''Knight School'' (CITV 1997-1998), ''Budgie the Little Helicopter'' (CITV 1994), ''Parallel 9'' (BBC 1992-4), ''Slim Pig'' (CITV 1996) and ''Fimbles'' (BBC 2002-2005).
