Great TV Themes of the Past, Present and Remixes

This has to be considered a top TV theme as well:



Look at the hair on Eve Ferret!!

My all-time favourite BBC News theme:



I really miss that Virtual Era

I think this deserves posting as an excellent remix of many of the themes of the era...

Ah give us a clue was done by Alan Braden, I believe Thames music director at the time, un- Surprisingly there was a good number of Music directors at many ITV companies that created pieces: Such as John patrick who was ATV/Central guy and created Original Celb squares and of course Bullseye, alas he does not seem to care about his past job,.

I do really love this version of the theme


for news its this nice piece:




But to prove I don't dis-like new music......................

Another Simon May classic!

Totally going off topic, but I can't help thinking of these quotes from ISIHAC when seeing Give us a Clue.

Of course! Who could forget waking up to such epicness?! The current Breakfast theme pales in comparison to this:

Originally, Give Us A Clue had the same theme tune as Grange Hill, albeit a somewhat different arrangement.

The Pyramid Game.
I don't even remember this when it was first broadcast. I have YouTube to thank for being able to hear this for the first time a few months ago. It's only a shame it is so short. It also makes you realise how meh the Donny Osmond era theme tune is.


Reminds me a little of this too, even though now I have heard them side by side on the same page, they sound nothing alike.


Also, I'll take any excuse to post Libby Roberts Dancers - All Night Holiday 1986 as it makes me happy.
