It's that time of the week kids.

[b]**EDIT - has to have been written for the show **[/b]

So, TV Theme tunes that you can listen to as a piece of music in their own right.

As ever, I'll start:

Hill Street Blues

Grandstand is a masterpiece, by Keith Mansfield.

He also composed the groovy original theme to The Big Match...

The main them intro is a bit short for listening to as a piece of music in its own right though. Whole lot here adds more to it.

I just reread the title.

Sorry, I'd been singing war movie themes to myself for the last 10 minutes.

I'm working from home, the cleaners are here and it's a bit too much like Blitzkrieg for my liking.
