Spooky we were only discussing Robinson Crusoe at work the other day. I watched them all apart from the last one! It was pre-video days so I never did see the finish!


Quite liked the music to Miami Vice and The Persuaders? (Roger Moore and Tony Curtis)

Thunderbirds
Stingray
Captain Scarlet

Classics one and all...

PEDANT ALERT! It wasn't John Barry who did the music to the Gerry Anderson puppet shows (in SUPERMARIONATION) - it was Barry Gray. So there.

Better than that, it was holding a large shepherd's crook to pick me up by the collar. Resistance was futile m'lud.

'Eye Level' by the Simon Park Orchestra. The first TV theme tune to go to No.1 in the UK. But someone will try and correct me...

 

[Kaney]

Baywatch is immense, the later one as oppose to the original.
