The Adams Family - spookylishously clicky
The Flashing Blade - highlite of anyone's week - I totally loved this
Dr Who - timeless - though I prefare the Pertwee era tune
The Water Margin - before cgi came Lin Chung and the Liang-Shan-Po massive. The ancient sages said, "do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon" Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire ;)
Jonathan Creek - magical and macabre
Angel - 1st of a Josh Weedon trilogy and with fab strings
Mission Impossible - you only have 5 seconds to enjoy this before it self-destructs
Robinson Crusoe - best on Fridays and so evocative of a place in time (front room on Saturdays)
Batman - Oi Batman come in - your dina-dina-dina dinner's ready
Firefly - Josh's version is even more hilarious. Always leaves me feeling a sense of serenity...
Hawaii Five-O - book em (for children's parties, Bar Mitzvahs, weddings...)
White Horses - cheesier than even Black Beauty
The Littlest Hobo - brings a tear every time (bless)
Champion The Wonder Horse - like a thingy of lightening - very very frightening
The Wombles - Orinoco flow
Stingray and what about Aqua Marina
The Banana Splits La-La laaa Lala La-Laa ad infinitum
Buffy - The later versions got quite speedy n'est pas?
The Monkees - here they come...
Robin of Sherwood ahh haa - the hooded man. Used to love this mystical nonsense
The Persuaders - by the man behind the Bond musical classics
Captain Scarlet indestructuctable and untoucable theme tune (no place for Joe 90 and his magic glasses though)
Minder so good for you... (apparently has been known to write a theme toon and sing a theme toon, in his time).
Are You Being Served - going up (as sampled by Coil). Have you seen Mrs Slocombe's cat ?
Fireball XL5 - Another Gerry Anderson series, this time staring Steve Zodiac. He would go on to find fame later, in hit US series Veronica Mars...

I like that arrow thwack noise at the start of the Robin of Sherwood theme, classy, unlike Jason Connery, who just looked like a clumsy fat blonde bear compared to Michael Praid didn't he. And crap at running. And Jesus I'd forgotten how good the Fireball XL5 music is. Fireball XL5 is the first time I saw puppet dancing- Dr Venus doing the twist (I think that was the only movement a supermarionette could do at the time)Marvellous.
