TV theme tunes

It's always interesting when you find out where TV themes came from- I used to like the theme to This Week and I found out it came from Sibelius' Karelia Suite, the Box of Delights Theme is from a Carol Symphony by William Hely-Hutchison and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes from the Journey of the Sorcerer by The Eagles. 

anyway nostalgia rules in most people's choices. Odd that Scotsport and Sportscene haven't featured yet..

5/ Inspector Gadget

4/ Dangermouse (can also be sung in Gaelic! Donnnnnnie Murrrrrdo!)

3/ The Munsters

2/ Steptoe and Son 

1/ Blake's 7

Just saw this referenced in another video, and suddenly I was back to arriving home from primary school in the Eighties  :lol:

I've no idea why it was always on, as nobody in the house actually watched it.

Just seen this thread, haven't had time to think about a top five but ...

Fireball XL5 - This was my favourite TV theme tune/show from my primary school days in the 60s.  An absolute classic from Gerry Anderson's great stable of animated/puppet SF shows.
