Hey everyone,
I have a really weird question, I used to watch a drama sitcomas a kid in Great Britain, all I really remember is that it was about a man who used to rescue people and the actor died while shooting the show, the other info I can remember is the theme song was Bonnie Tylers Holding Out For A Hero.........is there anyone out there that can remember this show?????????

I believe the show you are thinking of is "Cover Up," which aired in 1984 starred the late John Eric Hexum.
He played a gov't agent or P.I. whose cover was that of a male model.
He co-starred with Jennifer O'Neil, who was his partner and her cover was a fashion photographer.

John was killed during shooting when he accidentally shot himself with a prop gun.
Yes, the theme song was "Holding Out For a Hero."

I can't believe I remember this stuff...
