As a young lad, the Baywatch and the A-Team theme tunes got me excited in different ways. Only Fools and Horses is defo one of the best. Any other good ones? On the other side, I've always hated Coronation Street and it's intro music. Sounds like a cat being strangled. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Hah, it was kind of a sh*te show but it had the most amazing intro and music. The red and black lines, the pumping synth, the sounds and pictures of the FUTURE, when the future was 1989. -------------

Series five, episode one "Flesh & Blood" might be of interest to some. It's on youtube I'm sure. An Irish lad unwittingly steals a van load of "electronics" that turn out to be explosives for the IRA who subsequently send a guy wearing a big black coat and wielding an Uzi to recover them. "You have something belonging to the people I work for sonny boy !"
