Guess the TV series theme tune.

[Lazarus]

Yes ............. a bit of straw clutching I'm afraid.

I'll leave this one to the methodical chaps.

 

[sonnetpete]

Ah!! 'Highway to Heaven'?

 

[Lazarus]

Ah!! 'Highway to Heaven'?

Now stop trying to pretend your are a methodical chap.




(And well done)

 

[PaulR]

I've just looked it up and TBH I'd never heard of it.

I may have made a conscious decision at the time to avoid it though as it starred Michael Landon...

................very wise.

Well done, not a series I watched, but hey ho.

Next and nearing the last themes:

[PaulR]

Well the second one was presented by ATV...

 

[rolfw]

Yep, well that sort of dates it.

 

[PaulR]

Listening to Planet Rock and the has presenter just said "after the break a song that was used as a TV theme".

Does this madness get everywhere?

 

[Analoguesat]

Well the second one was presented by ATV...

Its earlier than ATV - I think its ABC.

 

[rolfw]

Right the first tune, one letter missing from a popular comedy western series.

 

[sonnetpete]

That could be, 'Alas Smith and Jones'?

 

[Llew]

Is the other one 'Crane', the 60's adventure series with Patrick Allen?

 

[PaulR]

The clue made it easier for ASAJ, I can see the credits with the distorted mirror figures now. And kudos to Llew if it is Crane.

 

[PaulR]

Hmmm, it may not be Crane as a bit of detective work has found that the producion company was Associated Redifusion.

 

[Llew]

You're probably right Paul. Maybe a US import? I've only been checking Brit programmes on Wikipedia. Where's Rolf when we need him?

 

[sonnetpete]

Hmmm, it may not be Crane as a bit of detective work has found that the producion company was Associated Redifusion.

.....and the theme was 'Casablanca' by Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen.

 

[rolfw]

Afternoon all, been out getting rid of some of the work backlog.

Alas Smith and Jones if of course correct.

The other tune is a British series from the sixties, has been remade with a change of cast obviously, but not as successful. The freeze is over with the star of the original. ;)

 

[PaulR]

Could it be Redcap?

EDIT

I actually posted this before I saw Rolf's hint! I spent about 15 minutes going through some of ABC's productions.

 

[rolfw]

LOL, I'll believe you Paul, thousands wouldn't.

Yes, well done.

The very last of this current thread, had to be done with the number of previous guesses : http://www.satellite-newbie.co.uk/sat1/Mystery_200.mp3
