Adelaide Tiger Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Driving through Adelaide today and the theme for Skippy was on the radio, brought back warm memories of me as a 4/5 year old jumping up and down on the settee like Skippy. It got me thinking about my favourite - not best ever - TV themes so here is 10 off the top of my head in no particular order. Skippy Match of the Day (the original) Hawaii Five O Six Million Dollar Man (for $6m would you rather have Steve Austin or a midfielder with two left feet from the Championship) It’s A Knockout Roobarb and Custard Dads Army Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected Doctor Who (original version) Bonanza Just realised that all those programs are from my childhood or youth.

Futtocks Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 On another forum I belong to, we had a playoff, with nominations followed by head-to-head votes. I can't remember who the other finalist was, but 'Roobarb and Custard' won. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Oh, and Beiderbecke, obvs ... Fantastic series, I presume you know that a Big Finish production audio series has been made consisting of eight episodes, and a second audio series to come. I've listened to them and can really recommend them. Review of series 1 of audios. My favourite tv themes; Dr Who original Blake's 7 Mission Impossible The Prisoner, But number 1 is U.F.O.

I watched a few episodes a while back and I still could feel the same creeping fear that I had as a kid when the sound accompanying the UFO’s came on ... and I am 56 arrghhh!
