@brom00 Don't worry, easy mistake to make. Let's face it, great though they were, many of Barry Gray's themes were very similar. And I haven't seen nearly as much of the live-action series as I have TB, CS, Stingray etc.

@stu1701E I grew up with both those series. You would think I'd remember that. My mistake.

@brom00 Actually it's the theme from Space 1999.

@brom00 AH thank you I did recognise it a bit but wasn't sure from where

@TorhWeirtly It is the theme music to Gerry Anderson's live action series "U.F.O.".

[TorhWeirtly]

Whats the music used in this?

Very good... but I'd love to see the Gerry Anderson plane explosions intercut against footage of Luton Airport :)
