  We give a brief review of current theoretical work in galaxy formation.
Recent results from N-body and N-body/hydrodynamic simulations, and from
semianalytic modelling are discussed. We present updated versions of some
figures from Cole et al (1994). In particular, we show the effect of using the
revised stellar population synthesis model of Bruzual and Charlot, which
results in a much better match to the observed colour distribution of galaxies
than before. We also compare the model output with recently available data on
the galaxy luminosity function and the redshift distribution of galaxies in the
B and K bands. The form of the Tully-Fisher relation at high redshift predicted
by our semi-analytic scheme for galaxy formation is given.
