How could I forget the littlest hobo. That programme was the reason my parents bought a VCR. I used to cry as soon as it was over and demand to watch it again.
Poor little hobo he could never settle down :(

BBC's comedy "The Goodies" - Bill Oddie, Tim Brook Taylor and erm, the other one with the specs.
Graeme Garden. How could you forget him, after T.B.T. he was the best one.

The very man. My defence is that I was only a chissler when the Goodies were on. I thought the theme tune was the best bit back then!!!!

An ex-housemate of mine is Bob Holness's grandson! Never had the pleasure of meeting the man himself though... another retro theme tune, 'Saved by the Bell", used to love that show in the mornings! Kelly was/is hot! and the curly haired swot girl ended up in Dreamgirls of all things...

No mention for Trumpton up to now.
Remember Trumpton, Sesame Street, Rhubard and Custard and a few others were remixed and released in the early 90's as dance records.? :eek:
I think drugs may have entered the equation at some juncture........
As regards cartoon theme tunes, anyone remember these:
Jamie and the Magic Torch Anyone????
The Wacky Racers - Catch the pigeon, Penelope Pit-stop etc etc
Bloody Hell! - This site really needs an Ireland match to discuss - pronto. It tends to unite the clans. By the time, the US friendlies roll around we'll be saying "Feck the match - anyone remember bosco!!!" :D
The entirety of Foot.ie in regressive therapy shocker!!!!!

Forgot about the theme tune to Peep Show, well from the 2nd series onward
I love the Barnaby Jones music they use sometimes in South Park - for the closing credits of the chicken f***** & the little league baseball episodes.
