What are the best TV Themes?

[PeppermintTeaTime]

We've had a lot of lovely nostalgic threads lately which I've really enjoyed so I wondered what people's favourite TV themes are, both adult and children's TV.

I wasn't around for the original series and haven't actually watched it but the Black Beauty theme has to be one of the best. For some reason it makes me cry every time.

Fireman Sam has to be one of the catchiest children's theme songs.

Oh and the beginning of Looney Tunes cartoons.

How did I forget Cheers?

And Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles!
Twin Peaks
The Detectorists

It's funny World in Action theme used to creep me out when I was a child , the subjects being so serious maybe . Once I remember it being about the Ripper and asked my parents what a prostitute was , maybe I should have been in bed .

Grange Hill
Biker Grove
Changing Rooms
Groundforce
Animal Hospital (when we were all unaware of Rolf Harris’ secrets)
One Foot in the Grave
Keeping up Appearances
The Brittas Empire
2 Point 4 Children
Men Behaving Badly

The X Files!

Ahh, there are so many! Have to add The Vicar of Dibley to the list!

Of course how could I forget Grange Hill .

Hill Street Blues

Moonlighting
I love this, it's on my playlist

Big Brother , when it was channel 4 .

I second Cagney & Lacey and Moonlighting!

Red Dwarf
”it’s cold outside…”

Ooh another one - theme from taxi

I'm living this thread OP!

Here's my contribution. City of Gold!

I can't believe that no- one has mentioned The Sullivans yet (you do have to be of a certain age). A thing of great, melancholic beauty (very much unlike the show itself!)

Sons of Anarchy

Howard’s Way. - best theme tune ever.

However, honourable mentions must go to:
Ski Sunday
Law and Order UK
Springwatch/Autumnwatch etc

Happy Valley and Royale Family.
