Question TV shows with great soundtracks

[MK Shrimper]

I thought we were talking incidental music rather than programmes like TOTP or classic theme tunes?

 

[AndyT]

I must admit, so did I.

On the side of the righteous my friend. Again!

 

[AndyT]

As always!

What shows do you watch that have great music sound tracks?

I thought we were talking incidental music rather than programmes like TOTP or classic theme tunes?

Perhaps I was reading the question to literally?

 

[Blueronron]

Pot Black

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

World of Sport and Sportsnight.

Midweek Sports Special had a certain beat.

 

[Napster]

So many good TV shows with great music. Friday Night Lights, Supernatural are brilliant for their use of music up front and in the background.

But, my current favourite show, Lodge 49 is astounding with music. Check this out

While I think of it, there's some great music on Scrubs. Part of it's charm, for me

 

[Ricky Otto]

Just started watching End of the F'ing World. That's got some pretty decent music

Most by Graham Coxon, if it isn't by him he picked it.

 

[South Bank Hank]

Stranger Things (and particularly the awkward but brilliant Never Ending Story moment!)

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Trigger happy tv had some great songs. Breaking bad too.

I didn't think many would get the joke when I posted it

 

[LCBB72]

"Who Pays The Ferryman" great tune , even got in the charts .

 

[Freedom for Tooting]

The Persuaders. The programme was dire but the theme is ace. One of the best instrumentals ever according to Marc Riley.

My top three of all time:

1. White Horses by Jacky

2. Robinson Crusoe

3. The Flashing Blade

A good early morning watch on BBC 1 was that. And then the Test Card came on for a couple of hours until it was the Midday news and Pebble Mill, indicating it was time to go out and terrorise South Benfleet

Then, if it was raining and your mates couldn't come round and play subbuteo, you might catch:

- Crown Court:

Or if it was a Sunday maybe:

- Out of Town with Jack

Or if you had to go to school and it was a history lesson at Appleton Comp our cop-out teacher, tired of trying to enthuse us with tales of yesteryear got out the school tele and put on this:

- World At War

Was your uninspiring teacher Mr Hayes by any chance?

@Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset White Horses theme is absolutely my favourite. Robinson Crusoe is right up there, but you've missed some of my other favourites, one from a similar era:

Love this one, so haunting and melodic - plus Michael Praed was a great reason to watch!

Which a lot of us did in those days!
