What is this 80s(?) TV theme tune?

It goes like this:

Duur du du du duuur
Duur du du du duur
#key change Duur du du du duuur
Durdududur Durdududur

It sounds a bit scifi/synthesizer and just carries on like that. I thought it was Tomorrow's World but it's not. It could be something similar though. I've tried singing it to DH but he's just Confused. It's literally (actual literally) keeping me awake at night.

What sort of instrument

SistersOfPercy · 23/11/2018 14:27

The Flumps?

missyB1 · 23/11/2018 14:30

My first thought was Tomorrow’s world as well. Oh God I definitely recognise it, I can hear it in my head aaargh!!

Lauren1983 · 23/11/2018 14:33

Airwolf?

DoingMyBest2010 · 23/11/2018 14:36

Indiana Jones?

captainpantbeard · 23/11/2018 14:37

It's synth-y. Although having said that, my memory is not that great.

It sounds like it would be Tomorrow's World doesn't it???

Not Airwolf as I never watched it and I feel like I know this so well.

The key change made me think of Nationwide

captainpantbeard · 23/11/2018 14:38

It's a bit 'space age'. Or rather 1980s trying to sound space age. I think it would be a factual programme.

Not Nationwide but could be something similar i suppose....

You really don't want to hear me humming it....writing it in words is far clearer!

I've got to go now but I'll be back in a couple of hours. missyB1 I'm counting on you!

This?

Zephbloggs · 23/11/2018 14:43

I'm singing it now (what I think is the right tune anyway Grin) but can't remember the programme either.

user187656748 · 23/11/2018 14:43

There's an app you can get where you sing into it and it will tell you the tune. can't remember what its called but someone will know

missyB1 · 23/11/2018 14:46

I think I’m actually hearing the mastermind tune so I don’t think it’s that Sad

What about Dallas?

Afternooninthepark · 23/11/2018 14:46

Twin peaks (although think that’s was the 90’s?)
