so where are all our jet packs then..?, lol, and our clothes made out of intergalactic space fabric.

thanks for the memory..i remember those picture titles and they still look bloody great

I could add a lot of television nowadays is dumbed down rubbish. How many decent shows like this have been killed off to make way for forgettable reality shows and extra episodes of soaps?
-
I entered a competition many many years ago, to answer a question on TW. The prize was a holographic CD with all the theme tracks used. Only a couple hundred thousand people won.
I still have that CD after all these years.

I've been trying to remember how this went for ages, ta!

I really miss this programme-it wasn't afraid to educate and inform-staple viewing for me as a child.

One of the best them tunes EVER!!

Great theme tune - those who call it "old fashioned" don't understand just how "modern" modular jazz was in the early 60's, it's certainly (as a composition) very advanced indeed. To my ears Mr Dankworth must have been influenced by the opening bars of Miles Davis' "Milestones", but it packs a lot into 30 seconds. As a small child I found the combination of the music & title visuals fascinating.
Having said that, its immediate successor (the Jarre-esque synth masterpiece) got everything spot-on

Incredible.
A prime-time televsion programme on a main TV channel, which actually set out to EDUCATE!

This was when you could do a science program with actual science in it. Now everyone is so thick they can't even understand the concept of a test tube. Unless its got "environmentally friendly" written on it.......

All the best themes were from before the mid-80s. Modern stuff is awful, and many classic themes were ruined in the 90s by 'watering' the original down to try and update it. Terrible.
