Mr Owl PhD Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 So I was reading this article:http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2013/oct/21/tv-theme-tunes-catchyAnd reckoned we could do with a TV theme tune thread. Post your favourites. Here's a few to start with. First the implausibly epic 'Superstars' theme: The fantastically twangy Joe 90 theme by the great Barry Gray: The aggressively jaunty Double Deckers intro:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KahPxbz6Pfw The poignantly minimalistic Richard Baker narrated intro to Mary, Mungo and Midge: And the stomping Chortlon and the Wheelies theme: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Owl PhD Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Most people don't realise that the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is actually a song by the Eagles called Journey of the Sorcerer.
