What is your favourite television theme music, whether British or foreign ?

[WildRosie]

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.

Detectorists theme tune by Johhny Flynn.

I love this!

I also love the theme from What We Do In The Shadows

Howards' Way.

I like the song on Misfits intro

It shows how little TV I watch now coz I don't know a lot of these. I remember The Littlest Hobo but I never watched it.

The original Pebble Mill At One theme, aka As You Please by Raymond LeFevre, is a classic. I have the vinyl single somewhere.

For the sort of dramatic music that gets you so hyped up that you start doing modern interpretative dance with the sheer excitement of a new episode I’d go for The Sopranos or Game of Thrones. But I’ve recently been reminded of the awesomeness of the Are You Being Served theme tune so I’d definitely vote for that in its own category.

Howard's Way, it's why my new house is by the marina

Cheers

Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name

Line of Duty also scores highly in the interpretative dance of anticipation stakes.

The Mr Men (original)

The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe however I want the theme tune of Animal Magic played at my funeral (hopefully years away).

Match of the Day
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD....

Reminds me of my darling departed Dad .

Howard’s Way

Also like Law and Order Uk

Robinson Crusoe of course
White Horses
Flintstones
Thinderbirds
Top of the Pops (not as a piece of music in itself but only with the Top 40 over it)

Ahhh @SpeckledyHen that reminds me of my dead ddad too...also this one....

The raccoons! Love that. Also the BBC wimbledon music

White horses and Black Beauty

Taggart
Baywatch ( but I love it so much)
Robin of Sherwood
I think I'm stuck in the past!

Loads - 70s child

One for all (muscahounds)

Theme from Brushstrokes

Brideshead revisited

Likely lads

Minded and new tricks (feme toon- Dennis Waterman)

Boy from Lapland

Heidi

Wild track

White Horses and Black Beauty always seem to make these lists. Must be an equine thing. Some of the American police drama themes are memorable, especially Cagney and Lacey and Hill Street Blues. The second Starsky and Hutch theme by Tom Scott is a funky monster.

Angela, the theme from Taxi, is so laid back and sophisticated.

Sopranos theme tune by a LONG way-suits the show so well.

Sopranos
Orange is the new black
Gomorrah

The Littlest Hobo
Black Beauty
Greatest American Hero
Happy Days
China Beaches
The Muppets

Porridge

The South Bank Show
