Best ever TV Theme Toons

Recommended Posts

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?

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

No I don't but I would nominate Auf Wiedersehen Pet

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...

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.
