Question of the week: what’s your favourite TV theme tune?
Moved from Wednesday to the slight more logical date of Monday, it’s ‘Question of the Week’, in which I ask a question and hopefully you give me your insightful opinions in return. This week, a simple question, I hope:
What’s your favourite TV theme tune and why?
There’s a lot to be working with and you’re all bound to have many favourites, but what’s your favourite favourite?
Mine is… The Persuaders!, written by none other than John Barry, composer of so many James Bond soundtracks.
He also went on to write the similar but slightly inferior theme to the very inferior The Adventurer, with Gene Barry.
But what’s your favourite?
