John Barry's masterpiece The Persuaders

Good choice, sir!

The White Horses is very dear to those of us who were born in the early 60s and watched this on school holidays. Belle and Sebastian had a very weird tune. Does anyone recall that.

Nobody has mentioned Van der Valk. It actually charted the theme to that.

Jack Wild is my cousin and he was a Lancastrian although everyone thought he was a Londoner. An amazing talent sadly gone. Does anyone remember Spring and Autumn with Jimmy Jewel? A short lived comedy starring Jack I believe.

Juliet Bravo had a great tune.

Taxi was wonderful and I loved NYPD Blues. Hill street sensational with those snow scenes in New York with opening credits. Quite like St Elsewhere too.

Starring Rober Vaughan and Nyree Dawn Porter and was he called Tony Ansty the other lead?

Re: best tv programme intros.

No contest for me. John Barry's masterpiece The Persuaders. Tony Curtis' character had the same surname as me, although spelt differently. This tune sends shivers down my spine and I was only about 9 when it was first aired. Also Hunters walk, a programme about a Midlands police station had a very Waltzy tune. The Champions and The Avengers, plus a Man in a suitcase. He was Tyne Daly's Dad you know in Cagney and Lacey, the Man in a suitcase.

Agreed, themes were all important, and still are, i think the ITC series took a american style to appeal to that market and Lew grade did a good job selling them to the U.S. networks. The prisoner opening credits and music were very good.

HERE IT IS FOR YA.

IT IS PRETTY SPOOKY INDEED.

In a similar manner to Darren's reaction to 'V', I used to find the title music to the old US series 'Ghost Story' with Sebastian Cabot as host very eerie, more eerie actually than the tales themselves, though they were okay.
