Re: What theme tune instantly transports you back to your childhood?

I have just discovered a great little channel on youtube,by a gentleman called: tvaudiochap.
He has a lot of great theme tunes,including the 1978 Hazell theme tune and song.The most impressive thing he has done to my mind,is to manage to find the theme tune to the Bob Hoskins old series: On The Move.
Here is the theme tune to On The Move:

He has the excellent long version of Kim & Co aswell.

Themes I really loves as a child: Dr Who (not the orchestrated tosh they play now but the real creepy theme); the Avengers; Orson Welles' Great Mysteries; Follyfoot; Tomorrow People; and Callan with its swinging lightbulb. These tunes not only encapsulated the excitement of the shows themselves but were great music in their own right!

Re: What theme tune instantly transports you back to your childhood?

I've been suffering the worst man flu these past two days but i had to go into my parents loft to get the cat boxes for their moggies annual vet health check,
I came across a box of old vhs videos, i borrowed my mates vhs and have had a misty eyed day watching through these little time capsules, most of them are stuff that my parents have since bought on DVD but some were little gems with bits and pieces of programs that were recorded over and over on top of each other,
However, i had got one with about 7 seconds of teletext which played the theme to farmhouse kitchen, a massive nosltalgia rush burst forth, cant beleive i'd forgotten that classic theme. Found it on utube with a full length version that has a proper bit of jazzfoolery in the middle. I'm well chuffed.

The theme to Z-cars....still makes me sad as it meant I had to go to bed! That funky-jazzy organ in the "World in Action" theme, oh and the r0cky theme tune to "Angels" takes me right back to 1076. Space 1999 reminds me of Saturday mornings in front of the telly stuffing my face with "rubbish"..."junk food" didn't exist back then!
