Trivia
Almost unique for a TV series was the almost total lack of background music. Instead the mood and action was accompanied by acapella style vocalizations.

Corrections

It is really annoying when facts easily found are discarded by neophytes to Westerns. Scott Forbes was South African, not British The "humming" to only humming theme to a series is wrong. Those are the Ken Darby Singers who ALSO THEMED TO The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp series and during the show of Earp until Season 4 Episode 4. And only the opening theme since. The Darby singers were used by the Desilu studios and appear in other westerns.
