I was thinking bit more leftfied than that. :greengrin Sometimes the show is terrible, but the theme tune is great. My example above is both a great show and a great theme tune. A bit like the A Team :greengrin

:aok: Leftovers has a great theme tune.

Teachers had a great one as well, as did Boardwalk Empire.

[WeveGotMcginn]

Power theme tune is quality! Cracking series as well, all 4 seasons are on Netflix

Some great suggestions but none that get near the bar set by Dangermouse.

Rhubarb and Custard beats the crap out of Dangermouse. Sorry Pete.

Always liked the Dexter and Band of Brothers theme tunes. The X-Files one is a good shout too. :tee hee:

Ski Sunday - impossible to whistle!

Agree with danhibees, the Cheers theme song is right up there.
For the oldies, I'll go with Bonanza.

Van Der Valk

The winner, the most naturally intuitive piece of music I can think of. Even if you've never heard it before, once you've heard a few bars you know what's coming next.

The Banana Splits.

Also good

Quite old now but ‘To The Unknown Man’, by Vangelis used by BBC for it’s ‘Snooker’ theme tune many moons ago. I mentioned this one on the other thread about the most beautiful tracks.

The BBC sports themes, even the ITV ones probably merit their own thread.

Grandstand, World of Sport, the snooker, Formula One, the cricket, all classics :agree:

Skiing and tennis as well, now I think about it, and the golf :greengrin

The Prisoner.
Foyles War.

[lord bunberry]

I used to love the theme from the south bank show, but then I’d turn it off because the show was ****.

[patch1875]

Was two tribes the American football theme tune or just used during the show?

The holy triumvirate of Minder, The Sweeney and The Professionals: all instantly recognisable and equally iconic.
(And no, I’ve no just plucked a section from the current ITV4 listings...)

[heretoday]

Tinker Tailor had a good theme. Atmospheric.

I liked the Cheers song. It was a great show back in the day.

Good shout on all three but The Sweeney deserves special plaudits because they took the same tune and made it upbeat for the opening theme and then all melancholic for the closing theme.

[Alfiembra]

Benny Hill, (Yackety Sax) can't remember if it was the theme tune or not but always played the show out at the end.

They used FGTH "Two Tribes" at some point and also used this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hOR50u7ek)

[Caversham Green]

The theme from This Week back in the 70s. From Sibelius' Karelia Suite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQHZQMivthU

And the Lone Ranger theme - Rossini's William Tell Overture.

Both are much better if you listen to the whole thing.

Game On.

[SuperAllyMcleod]

Game On.

I’ve been rewatching Game On over the last couple of weeks - still very funny and not really dated.

Plus, Eastenders apart, I’ve always been a fan of Ms Janus [emoji4]
