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.

Just remembered Juliet Bravo (1980s police drama about a female detective), from when I was tiny.

Used to hear it through my bedroom floor, when my parents were watching!

@halfsiesonapotnoodle, Monkey bloody terrified me. It was so weird and unsettling! I refuse to listen to the theme, for fear of not sleeping tonight, but here it is, just for you:
