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... :lol:
I like the way the kick drum has a different idea of what the triplet is from the rest of the band :lol:

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

The sound on my computer is playing up but I seem to remember this is pretty awesome:

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

Barney Miller theme.

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 :P

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

This one springs to mind

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.

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.

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.
