Black Beauty! It still brings tears to my eyes and memories of Sunday afternoon as a child eating peaches and cream in front of the TV.

Ha ... It's so funny to think about action TV shows now. Can't see Jack Reacher or the Night Watch with a catchy tune! 😄

Mumteedum · 31/08/2025 11:45

This is a good one. Sunday memories !

Pudmyboy · 31/08/2025 11:46

Another vote for Roobarb and Custard!
Also the very short theme for Arena (think it is by Brian Eno)

Mumteedum · 31/08/2025 11:47

And also... Sunday night depressing tune because the weekend was over and back to school feeling kicking in....(Child of Dad working in financial services)

Awesome tune though... Fitting for a spy drama instead really!

The Miss Marple theme in the Joan Hickson era. It has such strong associations of childhood for me! Also, great piece of music.

I liked Mash and Tales of the Unexpected
Both theme tunes I remember hearing as a child lying in bed while my parents watched tv downstairs.
