Would of been the late 70's i think.I never really watch it but nan did and the theme tune,as the title says,takes me back to my childhood.

to be honest the reason i never watched it is it looked very boring going by the opening titles.

I could'nt get the song out of my head and I used to sing it while walking home from school.

The Sullivans is a weird one. I watched those opening titles loads of times in my youth but couldn't recall the tune until listening to it again now. Sullivans = end of lunch time kid's TV and back to school

Hi Ian, just found ur post from a couple of years ago. Do you by any chance remember a summer holidays kids program from that era set in some caves or caverns and had a sort of tribal chant as its opening or closing theme music. I think is was a mystery-adventure type, and it may have been dubbed like many others, but I can't find anyone of my age this rings any bells with, and its making me worry that I've got to an age where I'm imagining things from my childhood... Thanks!

The one that does it for me- and I don't know the title- is the theme music to 'My World', which was also used as the theme for the early '70s sitcom 'Moody and Peg'. Played on the flute in a minor key- it was probably a 'stock theme' that was used for a number of programmes.

Robinson Crusoe
White Horses
Champion The Wonder Horse.


Saturday morning TV heaven.

Definite yes on those but I remember them more from school holidays than Saturday mornings. Mary,mungo and midge takes me back to being really young, the theme to Black beauty makes me want to have a bath (early Sunday evening), Follyfoot and The Tomorrow people get me going aswell.

'The Sweeney' (theme tune by Harry South) is an absolute classic. I have every series on DVD, both films, the pilot, all three original annuals, the 'Shut It!' soundtrack CD and the official model Ford Consul GT by Richmond Toys.

I've been listening to a few themes again recently, worth re-discovering are 'Street Hawk' ('Le Parc' by Tangerine Dream), and - just for the fun of it - 'Terry & June' ('Bell Hop' by John Shakespeare). Then there's Derek Goom's theme to 'Juliet Bravo' as well.

The Sweeney for me .. the slow closing music - always on Thursday night ... I hated it because Friday always started with double Maths with Mr Bush (who I both despised and feared!)

Love The Sweeney. Got series 1 and 2 on DVD. When men were men and women were birds or worse....lol. What I really like about it is seeing the old cars, the near empty roads, less cars and how Regan and Carter shared food and fags-they always used to do that. I hear theres a 'big screen' remake with Ray Winstone as Regan....ermmm, NO. And whats worse its going to be set in modern times. You should see the guy playing Carter-he doesn't look tough enough like Waterman did....travesty in the making if you ask me. Leave it be...

The Amazing Adventures of Morph, Alfie Atkins, Sesame Street, The Flumps, Mr Ben, Rainbow, The Magic Roundabout...The Adventures of Black Beauty, the closing theme on Wurzel Gummage (they used to repeat it on TVS in the early 1980s, but it was as many here know a Southern TV show from the 1970s) bliss, bliss as Dougal would say....
