Re: best tv programme intros.

I've already mentioned my favourite TV themes, but if you're talking about intros - 'The Sweeney's Ford Consul GT/Jag sequence of shots in blue from the first three series springs to mind - much better than the prism-style effect they employed for the last series. Then there was 'Grange Hill's comic strip graphics with the pupil missing the school bus, the argument/spinning fight scene, the pupil getting a magazine out of his desk whilst the angry teacher approaches, and (of course) the flying sausage on the fork.

Here's another one for you.....

"This is Jonathan Hart, a self-made millionaire. He's quite a guy!.......

and this is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous. She's one lady who really knows how to take care of herself!.......

By the way, my name's Max, and I take care of both of them....Which 'ain't easy, because when they met, it was murder!"

Re: best tv programme intros.

For me its The Sweeney, The Professionals.

Re: best tv programme intros.

I'd rate as number one 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads'. I never watched it at the time (I was about ten), but my dad watched it regularly and I was usually in the room when it came on. I used to go around singing it - had no idea what it meant though. And yes, I have watched it since then, on GOLD.

The Seventies were a golden age for TV theme tunes, but I grew up in that decade, so I would say that wouldn't I.

Re: best tv programme intros.

The theme music from Horses Galore, not the actual programme itself, Pulstar by Vangelis, excellent.
