Good theme. Anyone out there that could explain what The Prisoner was all about?

George Markstein, but he's dead. James Follett professes to know all about it but he's full of bollocks.

And on topic, another Maggie Bell one:

And Fireball XL5:

 

 

And of course there's this:

When I was a kid there was a motorbike cop show called CHIPS which had a funky theme tune. 

I also loved the music from the Fall Guy with Lee Majors. 

 

 

[Akio Dāku]

The theme from the animé series Cowboy Bebop, it's a classic! 

 

[Frank Blank]

One of my favourites. The whole intro sequence is great.

This used to knock me out as a kid, I used to hear this every Sunday lunchtime when my dad used to watch Weekend World, it’s still amazing now. Little excerpt from Mountain’s ‘Nantucket Sleighride’.

 

[BrunoBass]

And lastly, this. One of the most haunting pieces of music I’ve ever heard. The intro section (0.00 - 0.25) conjures childhood memories of strikes, IRA bombings, plane highjackings etc and the end credits section from 0.26 sounds like the music they’ll play when Armageddon comes. And on that cheery note...

I adore this. I would happily play in a band that just played stuff like this. Used to frighten the life out of me when I was very young though!

Aside from the funky 70s I love the bass in the Waltons

It is good isn't it.

Well you may (or may not) enjoy the entirety of Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain. A track based on the story of a doomed whaling expedition in North America in 1820.

A couple of entries, hope they havent been posted before. One of the most haunting TV themes ever...

Then there's this oddity by Dave Greenslade no less from a little remembered drama series set in the Midlands, the original album version is instrumental only but they put words to it for the TV show reworked version :
