Television Theme Tunes Part 3

As I am a collector of TV Theme tunes, I thought I'd share some of them with you. I specialise in British tunes, or foreign ones that are regularly shown on British television.

Some of the tunes included here are the staple of my TV viewing, others I choose because they have a strong musical influence to them and the rest I just enjoy watching whenever they are with us. The tunes in part 3 are:

Rainbow
Top Gear
Countdown
ITN News At Ten
Casualty
Emmerdale
Cheers
The Bill
Last Of The Summer Wine
Match Of The Day
Coronation Street
Blackadder II
Bottom

As a matter of interest, is your collection taken, 'off-air', or do you have the original recordings which the theme tunes were adapted from?

[johnmartin1097]

@JFredUK Alot of my themes are recorded exactly as they appear on TV, but also some of them are the original recordings and some are cover versions. I even have a rew rave and disco remixes.

Great post Johnmartin! If you fancy it, I've set 100 film / tv themes as a Youtube quiz (I'm similarly obssessed with them all.) Just click on my name and it will lead you to it! Cheers, Richard

PS If you can find the OLD ITN news theme anywhere (from 1954 to 1982) I'd be thrilled. Can't find a recording anywhere, and it was brilliant - Bill Bailey played it with an orchestra in a recent tour of his...

Mum & dad (deceased) used to love last of the summer wine :)

It's amazing how many theme tunes have a key change in even though they're only a few bars of music.
