Here’s another one which gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. This is the music used for the theme to the BBC’s coverage of the London Marathon.
Unfortunately, the images used in this video are of runners in the Bristol Half Marathon.

This from the original TV series.
Wikipedia says that the first four notes (in 5/4 time) are based on Morse Code for M. I.

At the time at school. Our music teacher used to play this theme by putting drawing pins in the piano hammers. Happy days.

The theme tune from Mash (“Suicide is painless”) is still one of my favourites.
The melancholy music and macabre lyrics are perfectly suited to the nature of this brilliant bitter-sweet comedy film and TV series

+1 for the banana splits (not to mention Carla Bley and the Lost Chords (Inc Andy Sheppard) reinterpretation The Banana Quintet)
Definite + 1 for the Alabamee 3 Sopranos - real iconic status.
I would add the gentle bucolic Detectorists. Bloke called Johnny Flynn if memory serves.

As a young child, perhaps the scariest thing going - and time to get behind the high-backed vinyl chair!

I guess it has to be The Bridge. I even bought the CD from which the theme tune is taken, but nothing else on the CD quite lived up to Hollow Talk.

Indeed. Kudos for the Ace of Wands theme. That was an absolute MONSTER.
