whilst wearing rose tinted spectacles and mixing metaphors for all I'm worth but....
Is it me or are TV Theme tunes a lot less memorable and less classy than they used to be. Think back to the days of Taxi, M*A*S*H, The Rockford Files, Magnum, Hill Street Blues and so on and so forth. For goodness sake even Minder had a half decent theme tune.
Anyway as you were.

When it comes to opening credits nothing beats a Granada smashing through a blue-tinted shop window, bloke with a naff perm doing Tae-Kwon-Do, a crew-cut SAS wannabe bench-pressing twice his own body weight, and a grumpy old Jock git from the Great Escape, all to the sound of some Shaft-style "wickee-wah-wah" ........
