Confusion over theme tune for Series 1 and 2

I bought Series 1-6 off of iOffer and for series 1 and 2 they used the normal Dance of the Knights theme tune they use now.

However, on the Series 1 and 2 videos uploaded onto Youtube, by the BBC, some weird other song!

Does anyone know what song they actually used as the theme tune when Series 1 and 2 first aired?

I'm pretty sure it was Dance Of The Knights (I didn't see them initially, but I'm sure I've read it somewhere). The BBC uploads have changed that song and a few other tracks used in the episodes, probably for contractual reasons. If you find online uploads by independent viewers rather than the BBC, they usually have the original songs intact.

Cheers for the reply. Do you know what the theme tune that was a replacement is called?
