The Paper Lads was a children's television series made by Tyne Tees Television and broadcast from 1977 to 1979. There were only two series made; each of seven episodes. It was set in Newcastle in North East England, and was based around the adventures of some newspaper delivery boys and girls.
The signature tune of the series, "Back Home Once Again", was performed by progressive folk rock band Renaissance, and it appears (re-recorded) as a full-length song on their 1978 album A Song For All Seasons.
Websites have featured pictures from the show, but it is not certain as to whether Tyne Tees still have any complete episodes in the archive. It has never been repeated. The opening and closing titles can however be viewed on YouTube.
Two novels By William Humble based on the series were released by Target Books.
