Favourite theme tune

[hopalong]

Back to theme music.  Whats your favourite TV theme tune one that brings back memories.  I am 45 and the Dr Who theme from the Jon Pertwee era, the Robinson Crusio from the 1960s and Crown court from the mid early 70s. 

[Philtaz]

Good question!  I also liked Crown Court, though I preferred the end titles theme tune.  Other favourites of a bygone era are:

The Persuaders, Van Der Valk and A Family At War.

The theme to Alias Smith and Jones always makes me feel like a young teenager again being madly in love with Pete Duel!

spudqueen,

I forgot The Onedin Line!  All time classic, thanks for reminding me.

[Xollob]

Robins Crusoe, The Onedin Line - brilliant. And - although I would never have admitted it at the time - Black Beauty. I don't quite know why but I also enjoyed the intro music to the cricket test matches. And of course Top of the Pops.

[corganiser]

The BBC music for Formula One (i.e section of the Chain by Fleetwood Mac), Six Feet Under and Rockcliffe's Babies.

[kick3m0n]

I'm 34 and the one that brings back the most memories is the theme to The Professionals. (wakka-chooka wakka-chooka, wakka-chooka wakka-chooka, din nin din....)
