It may have been for kids, but what a great theme song!:

WOOF!

I hardly ever watched CITV, I saw adverts interrupting my all important after School TV watching as being rather uncouth , but this IS one of the few things I watched!:

Saturday Morning Kid's TV was never quite the same without this:

Some of the following didn't want to embed for some reason:

The Moomins:

The Poddington Peas:

This must have been repeated several times over the years.

Also, I wonder what Iberia did:

And tying in the with the video above, only one of the best themes out there with the racing strings, the sax, the drums, the brass, the keyboard/synth..... Get ready for that '70s vibe!! (it wont give me the direct link to the video though)

Any ideas who sang it by the way?:

I'm convinced they just don't make theme tunes like the ones above any more, especially the last one!!

Not a theme, but I found this whilst looking for other things and, other than recognising Grott Bags (the Witch), and, of course, Rod Hull and Emu, I had forgotten all about it (seemingly it ran for years).

...... Quite frankly, when the kids do their song and dance routines, I'm not surprised I had forgotten about it!:

Ok, except for this, which if I remember rightly was on a Sunday morning (before Church... Or was it after??..... Anyway, it was on a Sunday anyway!)

Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade, which ran from 1966 - '92, and was surely one of STV's most popular programmes of the day!!:

Could you imagine a theme tune like that now?? Changed days indeed!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Why is it once you start you suddenly remember others??

OK LAST ONE, who remembers this rather groovy number??
I just have to wonder what they were smoking when they made it though!! :

The Mysterious Cities Of Gold and Dougie Howser M.D., those were others.

Sunday afternoons in the late seventies

Challenge Anika, Treasure Hunt, Going For Gold, You Bet, The Krypton Factor, The Crystal Maze...... The Flying Doctors..... There were loads!

I can't believe no one's mentioned these yet
