    Let's run with this one!

    Cagney & Lacey - Bill Conti
    Miami Vice - Jan Hammer
    Knight Rider - Stu Phillips
    Taskmaster - The Horne Section
    Twin Peaks - Angelo Badalamenti
    Jeeves & Wooster - Ann Dudley
    Krypton Factor - Art of Noise
    BBC Test Cricket - Soul Limbo by Booket T & the M.G.'s
    I Dream of Jeannie - Buddy Kaye
    Bottom End Credits - The Bum Notes
    The Bridge (Bron/Broen) - Hollow Talk by the Choir of Young Believers
    Bod - Derek Griffiths
    BBC Darts - Douglas Wood who also did the Snooker
    Big Brother - Elementfour, which in reality is another Paul Oakenfold vehicle, a criminally underrated (but very wealthy off all his royalties) artist.
    The Life and Times of David Lloyd George - Chi Mai, a classic bit of Morricone
    BBC Formula 1 - (A bit of) The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
    Game On - Where I Find My Heaven by the Gigolo Aunts
    Peep Show - Flagpole Sitta by Third Eye Blind
    2.4 Children - Howard Goodall (a leftfield choice for best TV comedies? It was insanely popular and re-watching one earlier it's actually pretty good for a family friendly)
    Roobarb & Custard - Johnny Hawksworth (a perfect match for the programme)
    Grandstand (with classic ident!) - Keith Mansfield
    Casualty (the original) - Ken Freeman
    Mission Impossible - Lalo Schifrin
    Three from Laurie Johnson
    Animal Magic
    The Avengers
    World in Action (orig)
    LA Law - Mike Post
    Magnum PI - Mike Post
    Mid 80's Top of the Pops - The Wizzard - Paul Hardcastle
    Tomorrow's World (1987-93) - Paul Hart
    Man in a Suitcase / TFI Friday - Ron Grainer
    Tales of the Unexpected - Ron Grainer
    Benny Hill Show - Yakety Sax, Ronnie Aldrich
    Terry & June - Ronnie Hazlehurst
    Please Sir! - Sam Fonteyn
    Ski Sunday - Pop Goes Bach by Sam Fonteyn
    World in Action (the later theme!) - Mick Weaver and Shawn Phillips (there is some argument about who wrote this!)
    1986 Mexico World Cup ITV coverage, latterly Saint & Greavsie - Aztec Gold, Silsoe. The BBC one was also good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgfKIeIgO4E
    Might as well chuck up Nessun Dorma (it has to be the 1972 recording!!!) from Italia 90. When you actually read-up about this section in the opera though...
    The Equalizer - Stewart Copeland
    Sportsnight - Tony Hatch
    My So Called Life - Snuffy Walden
    This Life - The Way Out

    Bloody hell that's a list and a half. I watched too much TV as a kid.

    There's a whole other thread waiting to happen for film scores and tunes...
