Is this the best every theme song to a tv show?

My contenders are:

Are you being served (as above)
Theme from Twin Peaks
Theme from Grange Hill

Great theme op.

My own favourite was The Flashing Blade.

Jam For World In Action. This, perhaps not surprisingly, is the theme music from World In Action. In my opinion, the best British television theme of all time. Serious, sombre and thought-provoking. Brilliant tune.

Robinson Crusoe
White Horses
Belle et Sebastian
All great kids show themes from being a child in the '60's.

Crown Court.

I Could Be So Good For You, from Minder, was co-written by Gerard Kenny and Patricia Waterman (Dennis' then wife).

I loved the theme music for the Onedin Line, Khachaturian's Adagio from Spartacus, it seemed so well matched to the images of the ship in full sail.

SneakyGremlins · 11/11/2018 17:16

Midsomer Murders!

Friends!

MissTulipan · 11/11/2018 17:18

MASH
Dear Ladies
Gentle Touch

JosephineDupont · 11/11/2018 17:22

Onedin line was great.

I wanted to run a shipping line like Elizabeth Onedin but despite this stirring TV role model I never achieved much in business lol!

Down in the meadow where the wind blows free, in the middle of a field stands a lightning tree.
Its limbs all torn from the day it was born for the tree was born in a thunderstorm.

Oh yes, love the cricket one, Slightlyjaded!

I've been trying to find the original titles to Ski Sunday, but can't although the music is the same here

Have you ever...ever felt like this?Have strange things happened, are you going round the twist?

I swear I only watched that programme for the amazing theme tune.

drigon · 11/11/2018 18:29

God, yes, the Flashing Blade theme tune was epic!

Troels · 11/11/2018 18:36

I used to love the beggining of The Beverly Hillbilles when I was a little kid.
That and Follyfoot farm.

The Joan Hick's Miss Marple. Howard's way. Dynasty.

pointythings · 11/11/2018 18:40

I still love the theme tune to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The other Trek themes are rubbish, but that one is just great.
