Tv Theme Joe 90 (End Credits)

[TheUTubeTeamSucks]

0:31 - that rising crescendo is mega,

[ufoclips1]

l got caught doing 60s dancing to this around 7 yrs old,lol,ahhh,the 60s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Damo63]

Totally Awesome!!! I grew up in the late 60's/Early 70's. Loved this show and still do! Loved and stilllove all the Anderson shows. Nothing like them today! Still as fresh and excitingas when they were first aired!

Wanted to be Joe 90', 'Cos I wore Specs a a child(still do!) but he was my hero as he wore specs and was a Secret Agent too!

OOH!...AND I desperatlely wanted that Fab Briefcase too! Sigh....Never did get it tho. Thanks for posting it.

[windymiller7]

Perfection. 

[islander780]

Brings it all back to my 51 yr old brain. What about a movie re-make ? When the film industry re-makes an excellent movie from the 1960's & 70's and always seems to make a hash of it, do we want them to tarnish Joe 90 or say Captain Scarlet with a re-make

? I personally don't think so.

[cokedaz]

I had that suitcase as a kid, including all the gadgets and items shown, some bastard stole my silencer for the gun and I was devastated, best toy set ever.

[captainpanic08]

Whatever happened to TV themes? I love the way this one sings without words. You know precisely when this one is singing 'Joe 90'. Nowadays they're almost all shite.

[tuberunner67]

Without question one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard!

Up-tempo but witha cclassic sound. Wow! An so expertly performed!

[tuberunner67]

WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO PICK THIS UP AND DOA LIVE-ACTION REMAKE? They've done it with other hero characters - this one would trump them all! Please make a movie!

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[welshybeii]

Im 50 yrs old, now when I hear iconic pieces of music like this and others from this era it makes me smile.

[Ashworth6]

"Plugg Shutt" ???? Er, who?

[staffsyeoman]

@Ashworth6 Don't 'diss' Plugg - he made most of the characters!

[markriviers]

Great theme from Barry Gray. The end theme differing slightly from the opening theme. Great alternate version with great drumming too.

[huggiebear100]

Top tune this. My favourite from the Anderson shows.

[bobanob1967]

even as a kid I appreciated this as something special

[themightyfinbar]

Prototype 3D glasses.......way ahead of its time

[mseaborne]

I was Joe 90. I'm now retired, but am available for fetes and opening new supermarkets. What a comedown.

[Tiger20001]

Joe 90 = WIN !

[bumfarto1]

Who didn't want one of those briefcases? I want one still but with a real pistol!

[bumfarto1]

The no strings attached version is awful. The end theme is the acme of Barry Gray. Better than the Thunderbirds theme hands down.5

.

[dickphair]

royalty for the ears!

[CI5AgentSweeps]

I must get round to watching this seires again...I thought I might have out grown it but I still find it brilliant :D

[RAIDERS58th]

I just love the "DING" at 00.7. It just makes the whole piece for me.

[AndrewJM70]

Great drum beat achieved by having a tambourine attached to the top of the high hat.

[sewitt60]

Magnificent!!!

[00simonwise]

1) They should make more shows about 9 year old brainwashed assassins.

2) Exactly the same specs as Harry Hill wears - can he pick up brainwaves too?

[theman2017inc]

@00simonwise They did though Joss Wheedon (of Buffy and Angel fame) copied the idea for his dark thriller "Dollhouse" though the brainwashed killer in question was a sultry brunette!!!!

[tuberunner67]

Came back for another listen. Terrific! They really should do a live-action movie update of Joe, keeping the intro and close-out music. BTW for an awesome remix of the intro try going to the "joe 9086 club mix" by weyeyeman. And turn up the volume!

[futurehead1503]

this is so cool it gives me goosebumps

[a217andy]

this tune was made well

[tuberunner67]

Best close-out music ever! Even beats Captain Scarlet? Whyt don't they do a "New Adventures" remake for Joe like they did the Captain?

When I was a youngster I needed glasses... there was only one kind for me....

[urlordmuman]

Totally agree, classic end tune...happy memories, made me wearing specs at 5 years old feel cool... even if they were National Health ones lol.

[Apophisguard]

Back when kid's shows had a bit of intelligence to them.

[1963garry]

Great tune from a great time in my life.its a shame we all have get old .

[ffjkhguhgft]

To be honest here, I think this is Barry Gray's finest hour!

I just LOVE this music!

From the quiet, almost idyllic, child-like opening, to the gradual build-up to the action-;packed finale.

The string arrangement in this is WONDERFUL too. Just LISTEN.

A glorious theme, to a glorious tv series, of a much more glorious time.

[Sharron8]

@ffjkhguhgft - couldn't agree more, I never get tired of listening to this. String arrangement is incredible!!

[Sharron8]

@ffjkhguhgft - couldn't agree more, I never get tired of listening to this. String arrangement is incredible!! I was lucky enough to hear this played live at the Barry Gray memorial concert at RFH a couple of years ago

[ffjkhguhgft]

@Sharron8 You lucky blighter. I would have loved to have gone to that Barry Gray tribute concert. He has always been my favourite composer. I think that this piece is certainly Barry's finest hour.

Simply SUPERB.

BTW. Thank You for replying. :-)

[dukeofoven]

I have a confession.

I grew up in Slough in the 60's and used to pinch odd bits of old polystyrene scenery from the back of century 21 studios on the trading estate there. Me and a mate would get through the fencing round the back on a Sunday when it was quiet & there would be old stacks of polystyrene mountains etc stacked up in the open ready to be skipped I assume.

They were brilliant for playing with toy soldiers.

Sorry Mr Anderson - I'm a good boy now honestly!

[ffjkhguhgft]

@dukeofoven YOU LUCKY SOD! Do you know though now just HOW MUCH those pieces would be worth now!

[dukeofoven]

@ffjkhguhgft I have thought about it but you know what kids are like - the said polystyrene invariably ended up being broken up & mum telling me to get rid of it. Sigh.

[AndrewJM70]

@dukeofoven what a great story! Have you still got the scenery?

[staircaseuk]

It was a fantastic idea for a kid's show. Turning spectacles which could be a cause of playground bullying into something cool instead. Happy memories of Sunday teatimes watching Gerry Anderson series with sandwiches and cake!

[TheCrazyEm]

Wish I could brainwashed like Joe 90 ha ha

[AngryOfMayfair]

Ahhh the MEMORIES!!!!

I always liked Joe 90 back in the day, and especially the beginning /end credits - so different in styles.

Really love the end sequence though... wonderful music!!!

[ffjkhguhgft]

STUNNING THEME!

[peterpops27]

this was the end credits

[Apophisguard]

So let me see if I remember correctly. This old fella straps his young son to a chair inside a metal cage, brainwashes him and them sends him into life-threatening situations? Where's the social services?

[Ashworth6]

@Apophisguard I think Joe 90 lived in Haringey and Sharon Shoesmith investigated his circumstances. She found everything in order.

[Apophisguard]

@Ashworth6 LOL!

[AndrewJM70]

@Apophisguard ha ha ha in Gordon Browns administration he would be wisked away into care before he could put his magic glasses on!

[1963garry]

Good ending tune '' CLASSIC''

[theman2017inc]

@1963garry Yes indeed, great memories!!!!

[GoldenObsidian]

Good ending.

[AtollK1950]

This is just over a minute of sheer unadulterated class.

[mikeluxy]

Quite agree...this closing theme is a favourite of mine of Barry Grays work

[AndrewJM70]

@AtollK1950 really couldn't put it better myself! An amazing piece of music!

[theman2017inc]

@AtollK1950 :-)

[windymiller7]

@AtollK1950 I couldn't have put it better.

[kgriff65]

Wonderful. I always preferred the end theme to the main one. Really gets going around 31 seconds And the little drum break around 45 seconds. One of my favourite theme tunes of all time. And you get to see all of Joe's equipment! How many of us can recall trying to replicate Joe's attache case?!

[goo201]

Gerry anderson forever!!!! YouTube deliving goods as always!!!!!

[mikeluxy]

If you want to see what Len Jones looks like (who provided Joe's voice) he can be seen in the Sam Pekinpah film "Straw Dogs"....A million miles away from Joe 90 but in there all the same :)

[spideytracer]

Pure nostalgia, thanks for posting this. I wore glasses as a kid, and was nicknamed Joe 90, but I saw it as a compliment, and I agree, this should be made into a live action big budget movie. They have a TV series based on a similar idea, it's called Dollhouse, but a nine year old secret agent would be so cool.

[rovamota]

Puppet operator Wanda Webb at 0.35? Surely she should be on dressmaking?

[CANBERRACOURTBOY]

this should be made into a big budget film

[gallafey]

those were the days when continuiety anouncers did't rudly interup the credit or squash them into one of the screen whle presneters of CBBC & CITV just praceled on about load of bull

[nmlt5398]

Did 'sculptor' Plugg Shutt at 1.17 really exist? Or was it just an in-joke for the production staff?

[mikeluxy]

Hi M8

Yes Plugg was for real...he was a chap from the Far East who worked with Mary Turner on the puppets in the series...He is credited in most of the Anderson shows....Have to agree though it is a funny name!.....Rather akin to the guy who walks into a Chinese Restaurant and shouts "Hey you!....to which the owner replies "How you know my name" :)

[dkefallinos]

Much better than the beginning credits. Ah, such nostalgia...

[AndrewJM70]

What a great theme tune - bit from 0:32 to 0:50 especially cool!

[fvni]

1969, I was five, and saw some great shows/serials from the BBC broacasted of all places - Taiwan. The Saint, The Avengers (oh, Emma Peel), and of course Gerry Anderson and his timeless creations.

The ending credits has a better "twang" to it, but hey, I am just glad to be part of that awesome 60's generation.

[Tiger20001]

None of those were BBC shows, all made by ITV...what a contrast to the modern ITV with its endless reality shows.

[Chiggs58th]

I never liked this show when I was a child. However, I did like the theme.

[staffsyeoman]

1969. I was seven. I had short red hair and glasses. No guessing my playground nickname. But I love this. Captain Scarlet better? Nah. Level par for me.

[gussy667]

Captain Scarlet is better

[IcedChrome]

Ah nostalgia,huh? A great trip down memory lane!

[fvni]

Compare this to the Beginning Credits, this is much more hip, especially with the tambourine in the background - go Barry Gray!

[jiabee]

Oh, this let me remember my childhood. Good film, good music, fantastic ITC production!

[ffjkhguhgft]

PURE CLASS.
