Mine is (Jam For) World In Action. A very powerful and thought-provoking piece that suited the nature of the programme perfectly.

I quite liked Barnacle Bill from Blue Peter before the Mike Oldfield arrangement displaced it. A pleasant, jolly hockey sticks kind of number.

Money Heist, Versailles and The New Pope all more recent goodies. Also Sopranos.
Montalbano is unique.

The little Princess 1986 version managed to get on dvd and just beautiful the whole thing. The Persuaders, 970s, the original Sant with Roger Moore.

Feel quite sad now. And I’ve got to get up at 4am, which is even sadder.

Jeeves and Wooster....the theme tune combined with the opening graphics lifts my spirits instantly. The series itself is great too. Love Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in it. And the songs that Hugh Laurie sings as Bertie are very earwormy too. If you need cheering up, go and watch it! Especially when he ropes Jeeves in as backing vocalist!! GrinGrin

Hawaii Five-O
Match of the Day music circa 1978.
I loved The Onedin Line theme too.

The theme music for Gay Byrne's morning radio show on RTE was great.
'Tico's Tune'

Also 'Imogene' by Les Reed - it was RTE's 1970 World Cup coverage theme, and also I believe John Dunne's theme on BBC Radio 2.

The Tra la la song from The Banana Splits...
