Inspired by sitting here this morning when Beechgrove Garden came on. Such a warm, gentle programme and I get that feeling as soon as the theme music starts up. Sounds like a lovely Scottish reel. Really heartwarming.
(Just looked it up and it is called Miss Tara MacAdam.)

Closing theme for In the Night Garden. Knew they'd soon be asleep and I could collapse!

My eldest used to burst into tears at this. When she was older she told me that she was sad because Iggle Piggle was floating off into the darkness all alone. Tbh I completely understand why it upset her.

White horses.
Takes me right back to my childhood. We watched it after school then had swimming lessons.

On a similar theme, Black Beauty

I loved this! No one knows it though and I'm half convinced I made it up. Sounds perverted now I'm an adult.

I loved the Dallas theme tune as a kid. Would get all over excited in my flammable dressing gown and start bopping round the lounge.

The thunder birds theme. I always imagine I am Lady Penelope

He had an olde English sheep dog called Wordsworth iirc?

Last Of the Summer wine. I never really liked the show, just a really cosy theme tune.

The Sex in the city one always makes me smile, I love the show.

The Detectorists one is beautiful.

Gogglebox ❤️ it's such a lovely programme and most of the people on it are so nice I just want to sit on a sofa with them. I also tend to watch it at the end of my working week so it gives me that weekend feeling
