What's your favourite TV theme tunes?
A couple of Edwin Astley compositions to start the ball rolling:

What a theme tune. Brings back sweet memories of being a little boy excited about an afternoon's sport on the old television there... and then realising the programme was filled with Rugby League, Equestrian and Touring Cars. Oh well.

Didn't the Inspiral Carpets do the theme tune for 'The 8.15 from Manchester'?

I Could be so Good for You, the Minder theme! About twenty of us once drunkenly sang this in a Slovenian bar at the tops of our voices, the locals didn't have a clue what hit them!

Totally with Anarchy on The Persuaders and The Protectors, I play those very regularly. I spent a fortune on old TV themes albums in the 90s.

Most of my faves are old classics:

Doctor Who
Man In A Suitcase
Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)
Space 1999
The Champions
Roobarb
Magic Roundabout

I do get nostalgic about old news theme tunes too - like the early evening BBC news from the 70s and ITN's News At One and News At Ten. I'm just old, probably.
