Bought this on DVD today and I have to say it's a sound investment, but the theme tune is one of the best things about it:



Anyone else have suggestions?

Never watched the program, but liked the theme of

The Onedin Line.

Two suggestions but can't do clips. One is the tune for 'Reilly, Ace of Spies', and the other (really showing my age) is the one for 'Take three girls', back in the 60s I think.

So it was Pentangle, I'd forgotten that. The song just seemed to capture the times exactly

Change the 'uk' to 'www', and it should work.

Now I don't want to repeat the unhappy experience of being justifiably told off by Mr Norge, so shall ignore that :uhoh:

Take 3 Girls was a smashing series of well-written and well-acted plays, with a nice edge of tristesse

No clip of the programme itself - but the Looks Natural theme was always a favourite ....

Mr Mutley, whilst reading down this great thread I was going to ask that you post the sportsnight theme for me. Took me back to the 80's when I was allowed up late on a wednesday to watch the sport.

Not sure whether this will work but I always liked this:

And of course there's Gladiators.



I also like International Gladiators opening.


And the Intros to the Gladiators at the start of the show for some reason.
