I recently came across a 15CD set of classic TV and film themes, and realising that I would never sit down and listen to the whole thing more than once, I've extracted my very favourite TV theme tunes from the 60's and 70's and compiled them into one album. I recognised every one of these from watching the original TV shows while growing up, and so this is a real nostalgia fest for me. I've deliberately not gone for the most obvious choices, so no 'Tales Of The Unexpected', 'The Avengers' or 'Van Der Valk', but a lot of kid's TV and action shows. If you too are of a certain age then give this a listen and relive your childhood, or try not reading the track listing and see if you can guess the show!
