Roobarb had a very catchy tune!
They tried to change ' match of the day ' but had to change it back again

Minder

+1

And a shout out for the melancholic closing score of The Sweeney. Especially when their man got away.

The Minder theme tune was good. Even made the charts (I think !)
As did ' crocodile tears ' and the one about the Newcastle builders who go to Germany to work
( that's living alright )

Round the twist - excellent programme and I can instantly bring it to mind.

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 22/08/2023 17:50

Absolutely amazing show, and a great theme tune too! Grin The catchiest of them all IMO.

RED DWARF! Grin

I agree Van de Valk is a catchy one too. Also Rhubarb. AND That's Living All Right (Auf Wierdersehen Pet.)

Onedin Line, and Howards Way, and Sons and Daughters have nice sweet theme tunes too.

@SlippinJanie

White Horses
The Flashing Blade
The Protectors

Nice theme tunes...* *Smile White Horses is a lovely delicate song. 😍

Its Cold Outside - Red Dwarf (NO LAUGHTER)

This is the ending and indeed, main theme for Red Dwarf ever since the show began. Too many videos on here have some sound overlay like a ending laughter, or...
