Copyright for UK TV themes

[Donhinio]

Hello,
I have a quick question as regards copyright for UK TV themes;
What permission do I need to obtain to do the following;
• Make an 30 second audio advert based on the theme from a BBC programme
• Lyrics: I will re-write the lyrics completely for my advertising purpose (and re-record by a singer)
• Music: I will re-record the backing track (not original recording)
• Use of final re-recorded piece: for online and local radio adverts

Who should I approach to ask permission to do this – the BBC, the composer, someone else?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

I would start with the publisher.

Hi Donhinio
Leon here nice to meet you need to go through a clearance house and have them contact the publisher and perhaps other entities I am UK based and I offer clearance services as well as being the owner of a library that is listed here
