May I offer.....Inspector Morse!
Not only is it a hauntingly beautiful tune which tenderly flits between minor and major key, but it gets a gimmick/cool motif in - the fact the strings are spelling out "Morse" in Morse Code - without it sounding clunky. It's fantastic.
Any advances?
lets end this now
The Bill
Bound for the Reload - Oxide and Neutrino

Match of the Day
new tv shows don't have theme music anymore really, just incidental mood music (noticed it most recently with ashes to ashes). A shame!
Actually,
I only just read that firt post properly. Is that morse code thing really true?? If so, that wins by a hundred light years.
it's true
also, in some episodes it changed to spell out the name of the killer in morse code, and in some episodes, one of the other characters, as a red herring.
WIN
This is the best thing I've heard all day!
Possibly all month. Thankyou :-D

TRAP DOOR. Killer.
One of my faves..

No!
The greatest tv theme tune of all time is obviously the old Crimewatch theme tune with the brass. So good, almost worth committing crime just to continue hearing it. Been replaced by some crappy techno rubbish recently... Nooooooooooo!!!
It can only be...
"Hey Sandy" from "The Adventures of Pete & Pete".
Case closed.
fun house
cos you can sing, pretty much anything along to it. making is fucking ace.
Sportsnight
WORKING LUNCH
srsly now guys.
Defenders of the Earth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nm_jJBkHtU
Your classic OTT 80's kids TV theme.
Love the Mandrake bit and the echo at the very end.
...
Now what I like about that is how the singer starts describing the skills and attributes of the main characters, and then I guess he's told he's run out of time so he sort of cops out with the "And, some other guys too, they're really uh, cool... uh, FOUR BECOME EIGHT! DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH!!"
And I also like that it's bad. So, so bad.
any cop shows...

With spoken word intro... perfection.
Have I Got News For You?
I've always enjoyed that one. Also, Sweet Valley High was pretty rockin' I think. Red Dwarf too.
As mentioned already Twin Peaks is amazing, as is Airwolf. Macgyver was pretty epic as well.

Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine
Any anyone who works with you will know just what I mean.
Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I thing you're a dream,
When we work out what you have to do,
You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,
We can depend upon you.
Clicking in the day and flashing in the night,
Your computer is shining brightly,
Some people say you've a mind of your own,
And I think that's very likely, likely.
Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I thing you're a dream,
When we work out what you have to do,
You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,
We can depend upon you.
