Favourite TV theme tune

BraziliaNZ

I've been watching True Detectives, brilliant theme tune, which made me think it actually has an impact on how good the show is sometimes; my favourite of all time is The Adventurers, a pretty short lived British Espionage show from the 70s, written by John Barry of James Bond theme tune fame. I'm not sure how I know it really, something to do with my dad, always used to play (try) it on the guitar - check it out and share your favourites

Also check out the cameo by George Best's long lost brother on the keyboard...

Yes. Me and my brother were so happy watching that in the 80s, with the explosive background montage. Also Littlest Hobo isn't my favourite song but it deserves a mention.

Why? One of the better modern intros if you ask me. Despite what you think of the programme itself.

Yeah, I was really emotional watching the last series as it aired every week so I'd watch the whole intro to stretch it out a bit! Funny thing is the Alabama 3 are from Brixton, nowhere near the deep south :pac:

Game of Thrones, I started reading the books with it as background noise I thought it was so brilliant

I wanna thank this twice, and retract my earlier contribution.

I quite like the theme tune and title sequence to True Blood, even if the series itself has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime and back to the ridiculous again.
