coprolite Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Good Better Best The best match between a TV show and its tune has to be Coronation Street. Nothing prepares you for the grim mundanity within quite like that depressing trumpet that sounds like an old woman complaining about the neighbours' fence. Bleak as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptoe"s theme was supposed to be the inspiration for Love"s version of " my little red book " ( which Burt did not like allegedly ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I vaguely remember this from the 70s, the programme itself was utter dross but what a stonking theme tune from John Barry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, John Barry composed a load of TV themes, The Persuaders is probably my favourite ever. ETA...wow, never heard that version before, it's like a 12" remix.

LIVIFOREVER Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Was thinking about Streets of Sanfrancisco but Kojak is more punchier and sounds better. Also quite like Cannon's. Gone down a rabbit hole now and sticking Quincy in too. l 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 The White Horses nomination also took me back to my younger days of watching Sat morning telly before going out to play, and Flashing Blades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Has a theme tune ever caused fans to picket a TV studio? Yes! They has these images overlaid by U2's Beautiful Day but couldn't secure the rights. So this dogshit went in instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
