Some happy memories in this thread. Can I also add ‘The Aeronauts’ which was something like ‘Les Chevaliers du Ciel’ in the original French. I’m thinking of the original theme and also the Johnny Halliday theme ‘Le ciel nous fait rever’ with apologies to French Rooster for missing the circonflex.
And the incomparable Emily Barker with the theme tune to Wallander (“Nostalgia”):
The unforgotten master.
Bill Evans does a nice version.
Weekend World with Bwyan Walden 
Mannix, by Lalo Schifrin
In the days when kids knew stuff.
Top of the Form
No matter how much you try who can forget the inimitable Midsomer Murders theme tune.
Used to laugh like drains at the adverts. Now I find myself thinking Hmmm could get me one of those Riser Recliners. Also caught Lady BC shamefacedly looking at a brochure for the Viking River Cruises Douro offering
Somebody had to do it … I suppose.
Shoot me now.
Cheers to Anne Dudley for this:
Roger
I second that.Avengers and Star Trek being close second.
Strike that: Game Of Thrones by Ramin Djawadi close second.
Sorry more than one at the moment:-
Killing Eve,
Shtisel (first series)
Post mortem: no one dies in Skarnes.
In fact all of the BBC Sports Themes are pretty excellent, and there’s even an album (which sadly is not on Tidal).
Taggart, mainly the closing theme.
A theme tune from a different angle: when I used to run a rock disco my theme tune was Suppé’s Light Cavalry overture:
Of all overtures it is one that really makes me feel it is leading into something:
One of my favourite first pieces of music to follow it was Gillan’s Secret of the Dance, with thunderflashes on the first beat.
heyyyyy… wait a minute: that´s cheat.
(more than one?! )
Can’t decide between the two but it’s either
The Prisoner
or
Johnny Flynn’s intro to The Detectorists
Favourite theme tune has to be. Merlin BBC1 by Rob Lane. Absolutely love it
