Oh God, I used to watch this back in the day. Don't waste your life watching TV kids, it's all over very quickly.

That's great that theme, perfect corn...
I like the way the kick drum has a different idea of what the triplet is from the rest of the band

Yes, it's a one-take job, I reckon.
You can imagine them saying, 'that'll do - everyone down the pub!' in the seventies...

And no-one's mentioned the Pink Panther? Shame on you all!

Herbie Flowers was a big favourite with the great Henri Mancini [along with many others of course]

Doh , this has made a liar out of me on another thread , I had totally forgotten about this , but was a BIG influence on my early learning , a great riff , although I did seem to recall the bassline being left to play on its own for a while with less interference from everything else

[chardbass]

Pretty much every theme that springs to mind has been mentioned.
Fame, Bergerac.
The New Avengers will always lead me to

And Bergerac always makes me think of

[chardbass]

This one springs to mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5ohUHIjAxI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The Bill was a good one for introducing odd time sigs to the general public- a memorable bass line albeit purely functional.

I was going to mention that one - but then i could not be arsed with the slap Police hunting me down on an Easter Sunday.

The Bill line is good [7/4], written by the very fine Mr Andy Pask and great Drummer Charlie Morgan.

[squire5]

I would have expected you to mention it too Garry! I hear your reasoning tho :-)
One that I cannot find but you may remember is the theme from the Paradise Club ( I seem to remember it being Snake Davis-lead)
All the late 80s stuff was great but 10-15yrs earlier some of the themes were sublime. Money.

[Jayben]

Most definitely QI and Deal Or No Deal

Was that the one with Dirty Den as some kind of crook ?
I can't remember the theme tune though.

Having an American TV themes moment [not for the Bass lines particularly] and there are loads.
Two Classics.
