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.

Gavin and Stacey
The Olympic theme - Chariots of Fire
Brookside
Baywatch
I’m quite partial to the BBC News theme too

@Straven123 oh my, YES, Versailles. It’s called Outro. What a theme! It’s what made me watch it. LOVED that programme.

Morse
Hill Street Blues

Gummi bears bouncing here and there and everywhere.

Theme to Black Beauty! Going to have it at my funeral [heart emoshie] as the coffin slides behind the curtains.

Dogtanian and the muskehounds .

There's so much good television music but it wasn't hard for me to pick my favourite. Just now I'm listening to Sleepy Shores (Squeaky Shoes) by Johnny Pearson, the theme to Owen, M.D. Very serene.

Man in a Suitcase
Eye Level (Van der Valk)
White Horses
Follyfoot
Onedin Line

Dear John

Rupert the bear

Cloppa castle

Wizadora

Sally and Jake

Too 5-

1. Antiques roadshow
2. Thomas the tank engine
3. The clothes show
4. Baywatch
5. Mona the vampire

Peston, makes me feel really mournful, but I love it.

I expect I'm alone with this one.

Thomas the tank engine, obviously.

Game of thrones
Downton Abbey

So many to choose from - but my absolute two favourites are both Star Trek:

Deep Space Nine
Picard

The theme for the Joan Hickson Miss Marple films. It fits so beautifully with the drawings at the start.

The American version of the office

One more before I turn in for the night. Gala Performance by Laurie Johnson, used as the theme for This Is Your Life. A bold, majestic, swinging orchestral fanfare. Or something like that. It's not dissimilar to the original Avengers theme, also by Laurie Johnson.

Children’s school programme from 70s and 80s, Stop, Look, Listen.

Game of Thrones for that feeling that you’re about to watch something epic. I never let DH fast forward the theme tune.

Friends and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air for singalong value.

The Bill for nostalgia.

Thunderbirds!

A family at war (excellent 70's drama)

Onedin Line

Theme from the Teletubbies (my 26 yr old dd with SLD still adores them 😁)

@mrsfeatherbottom

Oh, should have said, for Monkey Magic, it was the closing music I loved!

Yes, I remember that one and liked it.

Other faves are

Stingray (love the drums)
Babylon 5
Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy
Red Dwarf

MASH
Local Hero (Going home) Mark Knopfler

Tots TV

Petrocelli

Morse

Match of the Day

@janj2301

Dr Blake, I love violin music, my husband contacted the production company and got me the few minutes from Amazon. ]]

When I first heard this whilst watching the programme I had to rewind to listen to it over and over. By far my absolute fav theme tune. It is beautiful.
