Best TV theme tune

[Alan Dale]

I reckon it has to be Minder but I am fond of the Jim'll Fix it theme tune too.

[TillieTrotter]

One Foot in the Grave

Only Fools and Horses

Steptoe

[val]

New tricks

Hill Street Blues

[Alan Dale]

Hill Street Blues- great stuff.

I also like LA Law for cheesey saxophone.

[Jah Lush]

Match Of The Day

[SeanMacGabhann]

Way Down In The Hole - Series 2 of The Wire

Theme from Cheers

Theme from Tales of the Unexpected

[*Bob*]

Sorry everyone.

It's 'Grange Hill'. And that's all there is to it.

[Ant]

I agree, it'd take something very special to beat Grange Hill.

I quite like the music on the trailer for Dumped. Not in the same league as GH though.

[Jah Lush]

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Shameless

[Fear 'n boozin]

off the top of me 'ed, but this is something that will need a lot more thought, so I may return, with a top ten, later on. Hmmmm, where to start.....

[*Bob*]

Interestingly (..zzz) the original 'Grange Hill' theme wasn't specifically written for the show. It was a bit of off-the-peg 'library music' and was also used as the theme music for the first incarnation of 'Give Us A Clue'

Don't say I never tell you anything useful.

The Littlest Hobo

[mockney piers]

The one, the only, the hugely earwormy, the flumps

Funny, I thought of the ones that really stayed with me, like the A-Team, Airwolf etc and thought I'd revisit V, and it's not stood the test of time, thought the eighties funk break in the middle is pretty cool.

This one has, and the closing sequence still brings a lump to my throat, or do I still just fancy Colonel Wilma Dearing? Buck Rogers in the 25th century.

The best of all time though has to be Wildtrack with Terry Nutkins using John Barry's Florida Fantasy from Midnight cowboy. Well, that or the 70s Animal Magic opening sequence, wahwahmoogtastic!!

[Fear 'n boozin]

Brendan - the littlest hobo is musical magic, I'm tempted to search out the cd!

[mockney piers]

Oh no Brendan, you'll start Bagpuss and Keef off!!!

[Brendan]

A friend of mine actually has the Littlest Hobo theme on CD. He likes to wack it on at parties when everyone has had a few.

Although it is starting to show our age lately when half the crowd don't recognise it.

[*Bob*]

I'd have to make a special mention - the 'credits music' for 'Star Fleet'

Glorious. Simply glorious.

[Fear 'n boozin]

me too - I don't know you do I?!? Bagpuss and Keef and I like to sing it down the pub after a few beers, until we get the glances!

[Alan Dale]

Is that the one that goes 'staaaaaaaaaaaar fleet. do do do, do do, do do.'?

Must be.

[Brendan]

No it's not you.

Well not unless you're Scottish, live in Bristol and are called Tom.

[*Bob*]

Click on the link, Al.

I just got GOOSE BUMPS listening to it. That's how good it is.

[Alan Dale]

No you tube. I killed the golden egg laying goose by overlistening to the Kersal Massive and associated responses.

[LuvPeckham]

It has got to be and always will be Dr Who

The minute that starts you know it is time to get behind the sofa (yeah I admit that since the Jon Pertwee days I used to and still do that !!)

Listen to it here and hide --> http://www.mondas.org/soundmusic/soundmusic.htm#thememusic

[Mogs]

Fraggle Rock that's all I have to say

[Ant]

Ooh, I do love the Dr Who tune.

Sadly I now have the theme to The Good Life stuck in my head. Hmph.
