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

[captainpantbeard]

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 . It's literally (actual literally) keeping me awake at night.

I was hearing the Mastermind tune too!

Knightrider?

Hawaii 50?

Lovejoy?

I am CERTAIN it is World in Action

Howards' Way?

Ooooh Howard's Way, Sunday evenings were made form that programme

I though dynasty at first but theres too many du's in the middle

Is it this?

Probably more likely to be this rather than my first suggestion

I have it!! It’s Oxygene part 4 by Jean Michel Jarre m.youtube.com/watch?v=5DDEl7JnWvo

It wasn’t a very famous show but was apparently on ‘Where There’s Life’ on YTV in the 80s which is why I’m linking it with a factual programme.

It must have been on loads of things over the last 40 (!!) years but IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOMORROW’S WORLD

I was going to say Oxygene.

It was the theme to a programme called ‘Where There’s Life’. Which was nature type stuff I think.

Isn’t it from Star Wars?

It's got to be MacGyver!

Okay ignore, that! I was nowhere close

Where There’s Life with Miriam Stoppard was famous! Excellent music too

Surely it's Dr Who:

I would never have gotten that! Fair dues OP - you kept going when all around you were suggesting wrong theme tunes!

Damn it, I was coming to tell you what it was. I played Oxygene on a loop much to my parents annoyance

Sorry Op, but your "Duur du du duuuring" was rubbish!

I love that OP's "duur"s could have fitted just about any TV theme tune from the 1980s.

Glad you worked it out. Jean-Michel Jarre is classic 80s.

Thanks Toasted - glad to know my duurs worked for someone

Oh lord that’s taken me back to long holiday drives in my dad’s old cavalier with that, Paul Simon and fleetwood mac being the only cassettes
