Featuring a tune that may sound familiar to you, which we have all the details on below, this 40-second Homebase ad introduces viewers to Gary: A tortoise who seems to think he’s a horse as he runs and jumps around his family’s garden.

The music featured in this Homebase advert is a song titled ‘Galloping Home’ that’s best known for being the theme tune to British television series The Adventures of Black Beauty which originally aired on ITV from 1972 to 1974.
Having won an Ivor Novello Best Theme Tune Award in 1973, this now-iconic piece of music was created by the English composer and singer Denis King and has since been played during individual episodes of such shows as Absolutely Fabulous, The Goodies, and I’m Alan Partridge.
