What are the best TV themes?

[GreenBeanMcGee]

Kids' shows or adult's.

A few nominations.

Black Beauty I hate that it always makes me cry though.

Willy Fogg

Ski Sunday

999 The theme scared me but I still loved the show.

What are your favourite themes?

How has no one mentioned POWER!!

Game of Thrones
SuperTed
Grange Hill
Round the Twist

There was a medical drama maybe about nurses in the 80's with a great theme tune ! Can't remember what it was called though.

Alias Smith and Jones

My heart broke aged 9 when Pete Duel killed himself . it was never the same afterwards,

Are you thinking of Angels?

Hill Street Blues
Bergerac
Crown Court
Tales of the Unexpected
Rainbow
Miss Marple
Inspector Morse
Littlest Hobo
Weekend World

Round the Twist and World in Action (mentioned above) are both excellent.

Knightmare
Quantum Leap
Silas
Rentaghost

Oh, and Ulysses 31.

Strike Back (not the reboot!)

Short change hero-great song, very fitting!

Original Star Trek
The Persuaders
Original Hawaii 5-0
Thunderbirds

I'm seeing a bit of a pattern there.....

Live & kicking
Grandstand

Treasure Hunt

Causality and What’s new Scooby-Doo

Robinson Crusoe - a haunting, mesmerising TV programme melody from the 1960s.
I will never forget it.

Many good ones already mentioned;
The Persuaders
Hawaii 5-0
The Professionals
Hill Street Blues
Knight Rider
Mission Impossible
The Prisoner

(the original) The Man from Uncle UFO The Money Programme

Worth a mention -

And my favourites;
One that nobody else seems to remember - (From about 56 seconds) - Obviously called something else abroad!

- No idea why they changed it for subsequent seasons.

Horse of the year show

The life and times of Lloyd George

[quote WinterCarlisle]For all the GoT theme lovers this is v funny

[/quote] Thank you winter

That was very 😂

The London Programme

@jollygreenpea I’d forgotten about the Lloyd George one, I used to adore that piece of music, thank you 😊

Early 80s Tomorrow's World theme - not by him but has definite Vince Clarke vibes

Another one for Hill Street Blues.
Gives me a lump in my throat when I hear it and I don't know why!

And 'Minder'... coupled with lots of shouting and rolling over the bonnet of a Sierra in a sheepskin coat

'Arena' was another one

Ooh, 'Ski Sunday'

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads

My absolute favourite has to be the theme to Blood Diamond (great film with Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly) by James Newton Howard. Just beautiful, and I love the change at about 3 mins in to the best bit (called Soloman Vandy)
