I love the theme tune to NCIS. And Friends of course.

The music in Game of Thrones is like another character for me.

It's so beautifully written and pitches with the themes in the show. I especially love the laments.

I love the vikings theme tune,

If I had a heart I could love you m, if I had a voice I'd sing, after the night when I wake up, I'll see what tomorrow brings

The best theme tune ever was the one to Minder! Love it! :)

ElizabethMainwaring · 23/09/2018 17:09

Taxi. So evocative.
Cagney and Lacey.
The most effective theme tunes are the Simpsons and Big Brother. They get your attention. I honestly don't think BB would have lasted for so long without that tune. The show is so boring, yet the tune adds so much excitement before it actually starts.
But Taxi is my absolute favourite. Love it.

The Test Match Special theme - Soul Limbo by Booker T & the MGs.
Match of the Day, obv.
The Archers.

ElizabethMainwaring · 23/09/2018 17:14

TMS- yes!

Jezzifishie · 23/09/2018 17:17

One punch man! I wasn't sure about the series when I saw it listed on Netflix, by the end of the theme tune I was hooked.

Medici, masters of Florence
Beautifully haunting

Midsomer murders
Cadfael
Pokemon the original series
Simpsons

Geppetto · 23/09/2018 17:24

The theme to The West Wing makes me well up every time.

Modern Family.
House.
The Simpsons.

Being a theme tune writer would be a fab job...

bitmynailbrokemytooth · 23/09/2018 17:25

Grand Designs.

I love it, it stays in my head for days. I might be weird though.

jcyclops · 23/09/2018 17:27

TV favourite - "C'Mon C'Mon" by The Von Bondies used as the theme for "Rescue Me"
Film favourite - Ron Goodwin's "633 Squadron"

I also used to love the Ski Sunday theme music when I was a kid. It was very fast. I don't know if the programme is ever on anymore.

BreconBeBuggered · 23/09/2018 17:32

The closing theme from Crown Court. So evocative now of sick days off school under a blanket on the sofa. As a child I found it really sad if the defendants were found guilty too.

StorminaBcup · 23/09/2018 17:38

I really liked True Bloods opening
song

Allchangehere346 · 23/09/2018 17:39

The tribe. Loved that series. Found it on ch5 just before I went to secondary school... reminds me of my last few months of childhood Sad in a bittersweet way.

bitmynailbrokemytooth · 23/09/2018 17:41

Oh yes to Crown Court. That's a great one.

The bit of music in Vision On with Tony Hart where they showed viewers' pictures and artwork - called The Gallery, is also fab.

Stargate SG1 (which was the same as the film really). Atlantis wasn't bad either, but SG1 is more sing-a-long-able
