100 GREATEST TELEVISION THEMES VOL. 2 - Various Artists

CD PRICE - £15.99

This bumper collection covers over half-a-century of TV themes from the early days of black & white flickering tubes through to the technology of flat screen HDTV. From the quaint animated adventures of Captain Pugwash through to the high-tech world of CSI, this is a journey through time and TV history. Some themes, like Van Der Valk (Eye Level) topped the charts but a title such as The Film Programme may not spark recognition until you hear that distinctive piano theme. The sheer manic lunacy of The Magic Roundabout, the sedate string quartet of Fawlty Towers and the stark emotion of The World At War all combine to create a snapshot of instant nostalgia.
