Dr Who

Mash, both the theme tune and record with lyrics.

Some Mothers Do Ave Em.

I guess I enjoyed watching them when I was younger, so when I hear the theme tune, I get a tingle of nostalgia.

Good start to the thread!
and seeing ski sunday and fraggle rock get a mention was great too lol.

So, those aside I should pick 3 others I guess.

Dangermouse for me is a classic and currently my ringtone.
And speaking of classics, tour of duty used paint it black by the stones, does that count?
hmmmm, and a third.
Has to be the muppet show really, that or blackadder. Then again, benny hill conjures images of mayhem for me. I'm torn.

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh

Amen to it being the best series brother. It was a toss up between The Prisoner and The Avengers for my favourite theme tune, but that big phat brass blart at the start of The Avengers theme still gets me. And it's on tonight on BBC4. Pleasantly kinky with a touch of of the surreal.

Hurrah!

I always used to like watching cartoons when I were a lad...

So, I'll pick 3 cartoon favourites:

Thundercats
Ulysses 31
BraveStar

& TV Themes:

Seinfeld (funk-bass-tastic)
The Sopranos
Only Fools & Horses

There's also 'The Mysterious Cities Of Gold', 'Dogtanian' and 'Around The World In 80 Days' for more cartoon classics.

If it's films then my favourite is The Ipcress File theme, with "Science Fiction Double Feature" from The Rocky Horror Show coming a close second.

it's not really a theme as such, but who can forget King Curtis - a whiter shade of pale on Withnail and I...ahhhh, great album by the way...

Bedazzled (the original one) - thats a great soundtrack album...

Ipcress Files - ive still got the original vynil y'know...

Just about any Lalo Schiffrin or John Barry arrangement if fine by me...
