Favourite TV show theme tunes

[Elpenor]

I probably know this one off by heart

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Dark Season (early 90s sci-fi drama) starring a young Kate Winslet and Brigit Forsyth written by Russell T Davies



(From approx 45 seconds in)

Never heard of it. . . . And oh my, its solid wall to wall 'cringe' as the kids would say.

Nor this. . . . Did you grow up in another dimension?

Some called it… Orpington

I’ve not heard of most of the stuff that posters a decade or more older than me have posted either

And of course, the very classic and very forgotten

Glad to have posted a theme tune acceptable to you

I didn't say I liked the theme.

I also only said just had not heard of any of the other shows you posted about.

 

[Griff]

Whicker's World.

This sounded like the glamour and romance of a jet-set lifestyle.

Very much not sounding like the Ryanair or easyjet lifestyle that I grew up into.

 

[Saul Goodman]

The Professionals.



The Protectors.

I have that album. Loved the show. I’d rewatch it if it was still in streaming somewhere.

 

[A380]

Every time this come up. There can be only one.

Although a couple of close contenders:

Mike Oldfield's Blue Peter:



And

 

[Aladdin]

[Aladdin]

Personally, I consider the old skool BBC Nine O’Clock news theme to be the gold standard of TV news themes. The way it holds your suspense while the headlines are announced and then BAM the percussion kicks in like gunfire to draw the intro to a crescendo before a calming resolve. It’s mint.

Can't see Buffy posted, but that has to be one of the alltime greats?

THE SITUATION'S A LOT MORE NUANCED THAN THAT:

The first series of True Detective was great and had a great theme song, the second series was a mess but had a great theme song:

 

[Elpenor]

Jonny Briggs was another favourite from my childhood, apologies in advance to Suplex if it’s not one he’s heard of and therefore not valid on the thread

In 1984, the Minutemen wrote a song about visiting Mexico and witnessing the poverty and exploitation brought about by capital and imperialism; about 15-20 years later, it became famous as the theme tune for a show about men injuring themselves and each other in inventively stupid ways. Life's a funny old thing.

 

[Humberto]

Antiques Roadshow is a contender.
