I know that there were two or three alternative arrangements over the various seasons. Quote

Barking Spiders Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Bit surprised there's no mention of Angelo Badalamenti's Twin Peaks score nor Thomas Newman's for American Beauty. Gabriel Yared's theme for Betty Blue is the mutts nuts as are John Barry' original Bond score for Dr No and Ennio M's for Sergio Leone's spag westerns. Quote

I attach him to the Bergerac music because when the series was running there was a music video (presumably made by the Beeb) of the theme showing the musicians, with DK on fretless. Of course, we could have been hearing Mo Foster and seeing someone else... Quote

[/quote] One reason reason I assumed it was Mo (apart from some interviews), was back then, Guitarist Ray Russell was also writing some cues on the show (although George Fenton composed the themes) They were all good friends and worked a lot together (from what I have read). Maybe 'Rich' Moderator might have some info. He did an interview with Mo Foster for Basschat (a very good read, actually).

TrevorR Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Lots of "proper" tunes that ended up doing double duties as TV themes. Here are some of my faves... Heartsong - Gordon Giltrap, Holiday http://youtu.be/ktRsmHrLHU4 Billy Taylor Trio - I wish I knew how it would feel to be free, Film'XX http://youtu.be/jlH_XFuf3wU Kate Rusty - Village Green Preservation Society, Jam and Jerusalem http://youtu.be/HGnNQ6PX-Mg Siobhan Maher Kennedy - I wanna see the bright lights tonight, sitcom can't remember the name Nantucket Sleighride's already been mentioned. Light Flight - Pentangle, Take three girls http://youtu.be/d9gCN9- Theme and Variations 1-4, Andrew Lloyd Webber, South Bank Show (the original version features Coliseum as the backing band with Don Airey, Gary Moore, John Hiseman and John Mole plus Barbara Thompson and Rod Argent!) Most but not all on this vid... http://youtu.be/TMCb90JpvxY Here's a little video playlist for ya... http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGIYNBxcSZ3s4Q2qC42nv4yaQbP7KHKEd Quote
Rich Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Zombie thread alert! found this earlier, too lovely not to share. Beautifully melodic bass solo too. I love the look that bass & drums share at 0:04. Says it all. Edited January 25, 2021 by Rich 1 Quote
Eldon Tyrell Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 I love zombie threads and here is a cool and fitting intro by the mighty Mogwai: Quote
Mikey D Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 As an 80s child I have a big thing for Mike Post theme tunes and likely credit that for getting me into music overall. Other TV tunes include the unmatched children's TV theme of Mysterious Cities of Gold.... As for movies I've always loved John Carpenter that's been mentioned like Assault on Precinct 13 and Johnny Pate including things like The Taking Of Pelham 123. Quote
Killed_by_Death Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Roswell theme: It's been a long time since the series aired, but this song still gives me chills! 1 Quote
Chezz55 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 I'mm sure there are many others, but I reckon the following two theme tunes are among the best. Chris Favourite TV Theme has to be .................. Favourite Movie Theme has to be.................... 1 Quote

lowdown Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 My favourite film main theme (for today anyway ) Quote
WAYNESWORLD Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Tv series. Marina/ from Stingray Film You only live twice/ Bond theme......Before Robbie got his hands on it! Ad. Cadbury’s Flake from the 60/70s where the girl vocalist is belting it out Quote
