What is/was the best TV series theme music?

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Here's my choices:

Sport: Test Match Special, "Soul Limbo" by Booker T and the MG's

Drama: The Persuaders by John Barry - closely followed by "Hollow Talk" by Choir of Young Believers, in The Bridge.

Comedy: Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads, "Whatever Happened to You", by Mike Hugg.

 

[OnlyOneTugay]

Sport : TMS - Soul Limbo by Booker T , closely followed , although not a TV Series , by Olympic Games 1964 - Tokyo Melody by Helmut Zacharias Orchestra

Drama : Madmen - A Beautiful Mine by RJD2

Comedy : Cheers - Where Everyone Knows Your Name by Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo

 

[Drog]

Dunno about best but certainly most effective and reflective of the type of programme.

X Files

and Twin Peaks

 

[Gav]

Sport - Loved TMS but as an alternative - Superstars theme tune - Heavy Action

Drama - Minder - I could be so good for you

Comedy - Cheers - Where Everyone Knows Your Name

 

[Drog]

Thats horrible amo.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Sport: Ski Sunday
Drama: Mission Impossible (the TV show obviously)
Comedy: The Addams Family

I could easily have a second pick for each section, there are lots of good ones.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

You mean horribly good.
