Former Smiths star and The Cribs guitarist Johnny Marr has written the theme song for a new TV sitcom.

The song, entitled 'Life Is Sweet', will appear at the start of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.

Marr has also written the incidental music for the Channel 4 show, which stars David Cross as an American officer worker who lands a senior position.

The programme is due to begin on October 1.

Marr also wrote a selection of songs that appeared on the soundtrack to Christopher Nolan's box office hit, Inception.
