The Majestic Channon Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The first grange hill theme trune Minder The Double deckers Agree with the secret army choice too, was a chilling theme.

SoccerMom Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The Jetsons (Danny Elfman, eat your heart out) Green Acres The World at War
Chorlton Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Always liked the Littlest Hobo theme. A nice happy song But a favourite theme tune was Sports Report on Radio 2 on a Saturday post match. As a youngster, if we had won away I used to march triumphantly up & down the living room to the music.
Verbal Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Good grief. Have NONE of you seen or heard the theme to The Prisoner? Unbeatable.
fish fingers Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Mysterious Cities of Gold, end of discussion.
bungle Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Mysterious Cities of Gold, end of discussion. Ah, but you haven't FACTed the occasion. Therefore, I am seconding Ski Sunday. FACT.
Rut Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The theme to the old kids program called 'Murphys Mob'. It's called 'Empty Days' and is sung by Gary Holton (played Wayne in Auf Wiedersehen Pet). Also covered more recently by Argy Bargy. To prove I ain't making this up: Anyone else remember this?
Johnny Bognor Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 (edited) The Persuaders and The Sweeney. Classic. The Jetsons (Danny Elfman, eat your heart out) Green Acres The World at War One of the best pieces of music to go with a TV programme - EVER Here are a few more to think about: Ivor the Engine Magic Roundabout F1 (on the Beeb) Magnum PI (That one's for NC) Benny Hill (OK, maybe not) The Professionals Edited 13 November, 2009 by Johnny Bognor
rpb Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The theme tune for the cricket. Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs
KK the 2nd Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The theme to the old kids program called 'Murphys Mob'. It's called 'Empty Days' and is sung by Gary Holton (played Wayne in Auf Wiedersehen Pet). Also covered more recently by Argy Bargy. To prove I ain't making this up: Anyone else remember this? No I don't but I would nominate Auf Wiedersehen Pet
OLYMPIC Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Magnum P.I. and Airwolf. But The Littlest Hobbo is ok to.
keithd Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Always liked the Littlest Hobo theme. A nice happy song my friend and colleague at work (same person) admitted to me he used to cry when this came on the telly, he thought it was sad i laughed and poked fun of him

Redondo Saint Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Miami Vice Magnum Roobarb & Custard ,,,Howards Way
SoccerMom Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 top cat By the same guy that wrote The Jetsons, Hoyt Curtin. He was a god, truly.
Junction 9 Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Rockcliffe's babies and the Equaliser. You can lock this now.
dubai_phil Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 Dr Who. It ain't just the music it's the memories of the whole hiding behind the sofa thing. Ski Sunday, Banana Splits good shouts as is Booker T & The MG's, but if you allow Sporting "series" then Italia '90 on the Beeb wins hands down memories of the boys in the pub, red in the face trying to hit the high notes of Nesum Dorum...
teamsaint Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 The virginian. 2nd place to Tales from the Riverbank.
St Landrew Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 (edited) Bewitched. Magical wasn't it..? I love that smaltsy 1960's theme. Just right for the programme. 1960's ITV special agent dramas used to have some exciting theme tunes too, that really got you in the mood to watch, like: Man In A Suitcase The Baron Department S The Prisoner Randall & Hopkirk [Deceased] Danger Man The Champions The Saint [Roger Moore, no the Ian Ogilvy era] Loads more too. Often the themes were a lot better than the shows themselves. They're all on Youtube. EDIT: Here's a sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8QFd185Dbo Edited 13 November, 2009 by St Landrew
harvey Posted 13 November, 2009 Posted 13 November, 2009 folly foot white horses Both good choices, but I'd also go along with... Banana Splits Flashing Blade Robinson Crusoe.........there's loads of good theme tunes form the 60's & 70's tbh :smt045
