Z Cars Theme by John Keating and his orchestra,reached no5 in charts in 1962 Now used by Everton FC before kick off

CCS's version of Whole Lotta Love was a chart hit and also of course the theme tune to Top of The Pops

Paul Mccartney did a re-working of the Crossroads theme on the Venus and Mars album which was subsequently used on tv occasionally. Don't think it charted though.

[T&S]

Anita Dobson - did a version of the Eastenders tune.

Stephanie de Sykes had the hit with Born With a Smile on My Face it was never a hit for Kylie.

Can't find anything that says the Chamions was released as a single let alone chart.

Chi Mai" reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1981 it was the theme of The Life and Times of David Lloyd George. As well as a couple of films.

For whatever reason, the 80's TV series "Grandad" which starred Clive Dunn did not use his 1970 No.1 of the same name as the theme tune. The song used includes the lines:
"Who's that walking down the street?
Bandy legs, educated feet.
Sunny smile, now ain't that sweet?
It's Grandad! Charlie Quick!"

The New Faces theme was "You're a Star" by Carl Wayne which I believe never entered the Top 40...
