What's the second bestest TV theme tune?

[Oscar]

Word on the street is that it's this...

Only cos you thought the woman was nudie.

Haha, I can't say I've ever had a thing for silhouettes. Was a weird show with some completely bizarre endings, but both the tune and the credits were brilliant I thought.

 

[Paskman]

The Avengers, Department S, Danger Man, The Persuaders..........oh dear, showing my age!

The Persuaders, in the race for number 1 that tune.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Actually I think danger mouse has got to be up there

Chuck. Beverly hillbillies.

Cannot believe this hasn't been cited. The theme tune is better than the program itself for crying out loud.

The littlest Hobo seems to be winning with 3 votes so the world is in balance and everything is as it should be. (you understand of course that this is now number 1 and The Sopranos can fight it out for second spot with all the other shitkickers)

this is a no brainer

That is just awful. A few years ago we had my sister-in-law and her two children to stay for a weekend and both children were practising this tune on their recorders for school. By the end of the weekend I could quite happily have deposited their recorders where the sun doesn't shine.

One of the heavyweight news programmes a few years ago used a bit from the Karelia Suite from Sibelius as its theme. Tremendous. It's in this from about 1min 20secs in

Good shout - and classic television.

I'm not having that criticism of the Van Der Valk theme tune. It was legendary. Also, I'm going to throw Lovejoy into the mix.

 

[Tazman]

Magnum.....surely!

[Goldstone1976]

The Sweeney, Shirley?

Or Stingray, of course.

The fact that I know I don't need to provide a URL to remind you of either simply proves the point....

Surely Airwolf or A-Team
