Prince Valiant

Actually not heard it since I was a nipper, but I still remember asking my Mum if we could go to HMV and get the single! Couldn't understand why that was a 'nope'!

Also, Poddington Peas, Dogtanian and the Muskahounds, and Fireman Sam.

Definitely in a nostalgic mood!

The OFAH closing credits song always gets me jigging along.

I used to love Prince Valiant but I can't remember the theme. I'll have to look it up.

Ooh yes to Red Dwarf! Brilliant.

I also love the theme tune to Bottom, but that might just be by association, as I love that show.

True Blood

The actual series never came close to the brilliance of the theme and opening credit sequence.
