Posted February 8, 201510 yr Pick a classic Tv theme that links into the one before, maybe composer, actor, a colour, a tenuous link.....whatever. As Fall Out Boy have a track out called Uma Thurman that heavily uses The Munsters Theme, here's that one... FAB! iuHr00nxeew
February 8, 201510 yr The Munsters started in 1964 (on my fourth birthday :lol: ). Probably, the most famous British television programme to start in 1964 had its first edition on 1 January that year. Here is its most familiar theme tune. K0PiVpHvXd0
February 9, 201510 yr I could be getting my days of the week mixed up here, but back in the late 1980s on Thursday nights you would often hear the Top of the Pops theme and, shortly after, this little ditty that signalled the sports quiz of the week with David Coleman, Bill Beaumont and Willie Carson / Emlyn Hughes / Ian Botham was here. 3QI2uMty9iE Edited February 9, 201510 yr by richie
February 9, 201510 yr Ah, the good old days when the closing credits of one programme were followed almost immediately by the opening credits of the next programme. The days before some imbecile decided to subject us to endless trailers and other promotional puff. Form one quiz show to another. Who remembers Screen Test? 6bCuSeziHHw
February 9, 201510 yr Author There's a blast from the past I'd forgotten, yes that tune is still familiar 40 years + on! Well, host Michael Rodd was also in Tomorrow's World, just before Top Of The Pops, I think, and here's that jazzy cool intro again... ERaF-h8UhvU
February 10, 201510 yr Excellent themes so far! Maggie Philbin was a long-term presenter of Tomorrow's World. She also presented Multi-Coloured Swap Shop with then husband Keith Chegwin who presented this show that scored pretty low on entertainment but high in terms of theme tune. X4TmQxLjELI
February 11, 201510 yr Author Well, keith was the TV alter-ego of David Cassidy in The Partridge Family, a show I was mad on at 12 - including the theme tune :yahoo: LOiKa51ll-k
February 11, 201510 yr The obvious move from the Partridge Family has to be Alan Partridge. His first appearance on television was on The Day Today. s_nk8PzL0Zw
February 13, 201510 yr Author Steve Coogan was in the amusing movie Tropic Thunder which was filmed in the Hawaiian Islands: Just for the other TV show theme running here's on the greatest ever intros.. jc_ItEm5W54
February 16, 201510 yr Well, a 5-0 result would most probably make it Match of the Day...and it's back to David Coleman again. rZSU7bdSGVU Edited February 16, 201510 yr by richie
February 17, 201510 yr Author well saturday nights wouldnt be the same without Match Of The Day, as I spent hours watching it while babysitting in the mid-70's for cash (there was often nothing else on). My most-obsessive saturday night TV show though? This one.. (OK it's evening technically, hey ho) PNDMesgpCeU
March 5, 201510 yr The first actor to play The Doctor who I had heard of was Peter Davison. That is because he was in All Creatures Great And Small YDU0B-ByBpk
March 5, 201510 yr Author well Peter davidson was also served up for dinner in the restaurant at the end of the universe, and there is also a link to Suedehead2, who kindly let me know it was (and subsequently I downloaded) The Eagles doing the theme toon to... QJNic_XSwBo
March 6, 201510 yr Peter Davison? Sandra Dickinson? Space? General madness? The only possible connection must be... gu0o6u1VmGE
March 8, 201510 yr Author Don't know that one! I think of Moon, I think of a Blue Moon, and the best show with Blue in the title and it's hit UK singles chart theme 2rUYZpNh1P4
