What is your favourite TV, radio, or film theme music. One of my favourites is the theme to the Tomorrow People, links below

TP theme

There's a similar thread to this here :)

My favourite would probably be the Firefly theme, it's fab. Dead Like Me also has really fun opening credits.

Well as a new member I didn't know that, and if its several pages back I probably wouldn't have gone looking for it.

It's ok, I didn't mean anything mean anything by it :). I just thought you might be interested in the link as you can read people's responses to a similar question there. :)

It has to be the Firefly theme tune for me :thumbsup: I just have to sing alone, that's sad isn't it :lmao: I Love the Wonderfalls theme tune so too :thumbsup:

Crichton Kicks - August 13, 2005 12:05 PM (GMT)
I always think that the theme to The West Wing is quite evocative.

As far as Sci-Fi/Fantasy goes I still love Roswell's theme, and the old BSG was always quite good too.

rob - August 13, 2005 12:11 PM (GMT)
Angel, Millennium, BSG, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under - they all fit their shows perfectly too :)

Bakhesh - August 13, 2005 12:15 PM (GMT)
The firefly theme is still the cheesiest thing about the show IMHO.

BSG is pretty good, but I think I'll go for Farscape, just because its so original.

willowroolz - August 13, 2005 07:34 PM (GMT)
There are so many I like. Cult show themes I always liked were the Mission: Impossible, Star Trek TOS and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ones. Of the more recent shows I like the Angel, BSG, SG-1, Futurama and X-Files themes. I love the Smallville theme, but that's a song so it doesn't really qualify I suppose :shrug:

Away from cult shows, my absolute fave is the NYPD Blue theme, which always gets cranked up, and I also thought the Band of Brothers music was wonderful :thumbsup:

And let's not forget Hawaii 5-0 (I defy you not to start humming it now I've mentioned it) :lol:

Not only am I humming it, I already feel sea sick at the thought of those huge surfy waves in the opening credits ! :ph43r:

Agree with both of those Steve, and I should of course mention Hill Street Blues as well :thumbsup:

I remember liking the Due South theme as well, although for the life of me I can't quite remember how it goes right now :rolleyes:

That was a great theme too :thumbsup:

Forgot to mention my current fave, which is Deadwood (far better than the Firefly theme, imo) :thumbsup:

Forgot about the older ones. Two of my faves are the Space 1999 and Prisoner theme tunes (Thats "The Prisoner", not "You used to ring me roses......")




ant - August 14, 2005 08:38 PM (GMT)
Love the Firefly theme. :thumbsup: Angel is also really good.

Dan Dispossessed - August 14, 2005 10:53 PM (GMT)
My favourite theme tunes include Doctor Who (naturally!), The Magic Roundabout, The Prisoner, Charlie Chalk (go on, you know you want to hear it!) and the new version of 'Randall and Hopkirk'

Well, we can't all be avid viewers of ITV and their tacky "reality" shows :lol:

The Firefly song is awful!

Fangy and grrr - August 23, 2005 05:20 PM (GMT)
I used to really like the theme tune to The Equalizer if anyone remembers that. :ph43r: :)

Other good ones - Doctor Who, Dallas, The Fall Guy :o , Red Dwarf, The OC, Deadwood, Murder One. S1 of The Wire had a great theme song but they've changed it for S2. :(
