Classic UK TV Theme ~ Blue Peter (Original 1950's version)

Why on earth did they change it? This arrangement is far superior to the version they have now.

I also think the same thing every time I hear the Crimewatch theme or virtually any other updated theme tune. If they're perfect, why improve them????

I must be ancient now I've started seeking out old theme tunes from the 60s and 70s!

Takes me back 40 years!!!

Isn't this great? The drum-roll at the beginning immediately announces - "here is something special: pay attention". No wonder Blue Peter was Children's TV Royalty.

"Everything is twickety-boo. Twickety-boo. Twickety-boo." Lyrics added in an old Danny Kaye movie called "Merry Andrew."

Such a peaceful theme tune! I wish they kept this all the way through!

[DaveBTHunt]

[alfiecool12345]

i love that theme tune :D

[disremembrance]

Great theme! But isn't there a longer version of it than this?

By the way, it was used until January 1979.

[StickersOnTheWallUK]

Awesome! they should have just kept this one all the way through!

[Efteldingetjes]

@StickersOnTheWallUK I agree, its just the best! It sound much nicer than the one now! Why just not keep a tradition??

@StickersOnTheWallUK Yeah, all remixes pale in comparison.
