I agree 100 %, I've got series one on DVD but when will they bring the rest out ?

[Bovon]

Man In A Suitcase beats 'em all.

Honourable mention to Freewheelers, & Robinson Crusoe.

I'm afraid the YTs are all a bit ropey - but you get a flavour. :-)

Amazed that Fools and Horses hasn't been mentioned yet.

Does anyone not know the words to this one ?

Not the original theme tune to the show. But definitely the best version, instantly recognised and loved by millions.

The Adams Family,

There house is a museum, etc etc

[BustyWomenLovr]

Da Vinci's Inquest (Canada)

All good choices - but I heard this and was HOOKED.

End Title theme - but I think sometimes also used as an opener - because it is just so GOOD.
(note youtube version is a bit muted from what plays on TV)

OPENING

Stick a pony in me pocket, I'll fetch the suitcase from the van.
Cos if you want the best 'uns, but you don't ask questions,
Then brother, I'm your man. 'Cos where it all comes from is a mystery,
It's like the changin' of the seasons, and the tides of the sea.
But here's the one that's drivin' me beserk, Why do only fools and horses work?
La-la-la. La-lala-la. La-la-la. La-lala-la.

CLOSING

We've got some half price cracked ice and miles and miles of carpet tiles,
T.V.s, deep freeze and David Bowie L.P.s,
Ball games, gold chains, whatsnames, pictures frames and leather goods,
And Trevor Francis track suits from a mush in Shepherds Bush,
Bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush, bush ...
No income tax, no V.A.T., no money back, no guarantee,
Black or white, rich or poor, we'll cut prices at a stroke,
God bless Hooky Street. Viva Hooky Street. Long live Hooky Street.
C'est magnifique, Hooky Street, Magnifique, Hooky Street, Hooky Street (to fade)

My mum loved watching that show when I was a kid, I hated it as it was on at the same time as Welcome Back Kotter,

Would you believe me if I said Mrs Olsen turned me on?
