Howard's Way is a television drama series produced by BBC Birmingham and transmitted on BBC1 between September 1, 1985 and November 25, 1990. The series deals with the personal and professional lives of the wealthy yachting and business communities in the fictional town of Tarrant on the south coast of England.

The theme music was composed by Simon May and performed by his orchestra. Executive Leslie Osborne secured a co-writer credit, but in reality did not contribute to the composition. After series one, Don Black was commissioned to write lyrics for the theme; May had suggested the title "Almost There", which Black changed to "Always There". The song was recorded by Marti Webb, and reached number 13 in the UK singles chart. The upbeat variation of the theme, "Barracuda", was used over the show's end credits from series 3 until the show ended.

The theme was released as a single on the BBC Records label in October 1985. It was on the UK Singles Chart for 12 weeks, peaking at #21 for two weeks from November 16, 1985.
