The Follyfoot theme music always scared me as a kid for some reason.

Whoa! The theme from an over-sentimental girlie series about horsies scared you? Are you sure you want to admit this on a publicly accessible forum visited by thousands of people each day?

Or were you hit by lightning whilst standing under a tree as a child? In which case I apologise, and shall stifle my chuckles to a minimum.
I apologise, in advance.

I apologise, in advance.

Has Bonanza been mentioned? I used to like the self-combusting map in the title series.

It was just the music.

I'm going for the comedy classics... Rising Damp, Mind Your Language, Bewitched and The Munsters. Fun tunes!

I like Flambard's theme too!

Great theme tune/song, and, in my opinion, probably the best TV programme ever made...

Yes. I agree with you, Tarks. (I think I was lead astray by the 'cowboy theme' - I think the BEST [English] tv programme EVER made is 'The Good Life': just not impressed with the theme tune!)
