For me, yes. Strawbs female song may have had more?

I will kick this off in the evening.

I can't think of many good tv theme tunes never mind 320, so this should be interesting to say the least. I don't watch many tv shows really.

I dont watch tv anymore either and you tend to skip the intro when streaming but there are a lot of old school shows here from the 80s and 90s, so Im sure a lot of them will bring back memories, maybe depending on what age bracket you fall into

Right, lets kick this off with a few qualifiers. I don't know how well this will go or how many are around this evening.

As always, I will play to a quota rather than time limit but if they don't resolve, I will call them.

Get Smart - used to love that 237 doors he went through.

Eastenders purely for the soundtrack like someone falling down the stairs.

EastEnders - absolutely iconic

The Walking Dead - it really does do a great job at setting the tone of the show

Catdog anyways.

Brief listen to the rest and I'm going with Barry. The rest are mediocre.

I've only just listened to most of these and Catdog is pretty catchy. The rest are underwhelming, so will go with US House of Cards

House of Cards US - it sounds even more ominous that the UK version.

Barry - another funky tune

I actually thought I had until I looked at my nominations a few minutes ago. By the looks of things, I had a tough time just narrowing it down to 30.
