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.

Cheers
Perry Mason

[Jamhandprints]

Oh and the old cricket music was awesome!

[TimeStoleMyYouth]

The Onedin Line
Van der Valk
Alice Nevers - (a French series) - I love the music at the end

[diplodocusinermine]

Outnumberedwoman, came on to say original Van Der Valk - at least there was a small nod to the original in the new version.

Detectorists for sure, (theme tune and also the Unthanks Magpie song) Onedin Line, Life and Times of David Lloyd George. Morse.

[vampirethriller]

Morse
Perry Mason
True Blood
Willy Fogg! I'd forgotten that but yes I loved it.
She Ra was a good one too.

[TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross]

Morse is just hauntingly, soaringly beautiful and melancholy.

Game of Thrones is stirring and dramatic.

Honourable mention for Buffy and Angel.

However, never has a theme tune fitted its show more perfectly than Red Right Hand does Peaky Blinders.

[Rhine]

Oh and Fireman Sam!

[ChildofCastor]

Detectorists and The Bridge for me, not a coincidence that they're also two of my very favourite programmes!

[gingajewel]

Ski Sunday and game of thrones!

[merryhouse]

Test Match Special.

(quibble - I know TMS is the radio programme)

It lifts my spirits every time I hear it. I don't know whether it's the music itself, or the fact that Watching Cricket means it's a lazy summer day with few responsibilities, or what.

[gggrrrargh]

Firefly. You can’t take the sky from me

[TiptopJ]

I used to watch a show called weeds ( think it was by the same writer as OITNB) and the opening song was called Little boxes. I love it and still sing it.
