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

MASH is a good call. Also, going to add Dallas.

Still sticking with AYBS? as King of themes though.

Oh. I've just remembered The Pink Panther. Now I'm a bit torn....

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Dr Who theme tune.

Cause the new one's shit!

Sounds like it's being played underwater.

I cane on to say Round The Twist and someone has beaten me to it!

Here it is in all it's glory.

Bullseye and Dangermouse 🤣🤣🤣. Both tunes take me back to childhood

@squishies. Yes the Dr Who theme is perfect.

I think that's what makes a brilliant theme. Not just that it's catchy, but that it's perfect for the programme and represents the era. I think that Pink Panther theme might be the winner in the all-rounder stakes although AYBS is STILL my favourite.

Sorry, I appear to have killed the thread! Posting to bring it back in the hope that others have their own suggestions.

My husband is still convinced that Nicholas Lyndhurst sang the theme tune, despite John Sullivan saying he did it!

Hawaii 5-0 has a great, stirring theme tune from my childhood (70s).The new version from the 2010s series is very faithful to the original.

DarlingNikita · 16/11/2018 15:27

The Pink Panther wins for me, because not just the theme tune but the music throughout was always brilliant.

AYBS is excellent as well though. Great vocal performance. And Auf Wiedersehen Pet has that thing that's difficult to achieve of being comedic but melancholy at the same time.

JudyDenchsBloomers · 16/11/2018 15:33

You Rang M'Lord with the marvellous Bob Monkhouse.

The Crown.

I think I've been hearing the Rentaghost theme tune on a (banking?) tv advert recently?

Slightlyjaded · 17/11/2018 19:02

@sueelleker definitely John Sullivan singing. He sounded exactly as he does in the track in real life.

Hawaii 5-0 - good shout!
