I loved the very camp opening scenes which came with this intro but sadly they aren't on YouTube.

Can't remember which came first, the TV theme tune or the single Find Out Why. Basically the same tune with different words.

In a different version of what came first, the single or the theme tune, here it's definitely the closing credits tune of a somewhat obscure 80's TV programme.

I was too young for the Likely Lads but I enjoyed Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, and the theme tune is quite poignant.

I really enjoyed that comedy series, playing as it did on the idea of an overbearing mother.

Maybe it helped that I was an only child with a strong mother.

That 80s Dr Who theme should definitely be here. Maybe obvious, but it's a stunner.
