Don't think anyone has - I'd forgotten all about it! I guess this depends on whether the songs were written for the show? Didn't some program called Teachers or something use The Boy With The Arab Strap? Like Mock The Week uses News Of The World. So I suppose we stick to original compositions. Can't argue with Dr. Who. I don't really watch a lot of TV so I'd have to have a think. I really liked the music to Grandstand actually! MOTD is a classic too but I'm not sure I'd like the song if it had been the theme to something else. |

Thinking about sports programs - I seem to remember liking the theme to Sports Night - which on further inspection even sounded by the 1990s like they were introducing Morcombe and Wise! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naD6cYYVs_c But sure it's the theme I was thinking of. Perhaps another late night sports show? |

I've narrowed it down to 15 cartoons, but it may take a few weeks to decide on only 5 *chews pencil* |

It's a bit difficult really - if I hear the Tom & Jerry theme I think of the cartoon. It's just such ubiquitous music, but really the Looney Toons music is brilliant! |

Forgot about Roobarb! Stick in The Magic Roundabout too. It sounded like a nice tune but played b y someone who was off their tits and came out slightly warped. |
