Best TV program music for you?

[stevenb]

What TV program do you remember as having the best tune?

I used to like the Rally Program (Top Gear Report) music. That was a wicked tune.

It's on YouTube but I forgot who did it now...I know they were a German group though.

the old ski sunday music i always love....

 

[Unkraut]

Morse wasn't bad. The theme, I mean, not the tuneless arrangements slotted into the program itself.

Z-cars

Johnny todd i think

 

[Elmer Fudd]

Thunderbirds

(and you couldn't see the strings, it's the scratches on the old film)

I think Grandstand used to have a good theme tune, I liked it as a kid, can't remember it now though!
Also the snooker theme tune when it was nice and simple and played on an electric guitar. They've ponced it up now though.
And the theme tune from QI's very jolly.

"every nation ... has a tv station ... " bla bla bla

any one remember this lyric from an 80s chilren's bbc programme? The tune is still in my head, although any memories of the actual programme have faded. I'm just left with that snippet. It does my nut in.

I'm still not convinced those puppets are really puppets and not just slightly odd looking people...

Don't think you can get much better than the tune for Film 07 (are they still following that convention), for tv theme tunes or otherwise.

Ok, ok. Not actually a theme tune, but no doubt the one that all theme tune writers wished they'd written
