Z Cars.
Never been beaten as a theme tune. Plus added Ford Zephyr. Classic.

Game of Thrones. It gave such a sense of anticipation.

Just a pity it ended at season 7.

Such different choices from everyone - I love it! Haven’t heard some of them before

Another one I love is Downton Abbey - great piece of music

Cheers. The tune always bring me back to my youth and what now seems to have been a much more innocent time.

MacGyver. Just perfect.
Fraggle Rock. Also perfect.
Black Sails. Rubbish series, but outstanding opening credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFTcA4QLHw0

The Wire certainly up there. Had a different version of the same song every season, this probably my favourite though.

Edit to say it's got a great closing theme also IMO

Succession's is fantastic too actually. Probably my favourite "modern" theme.
