Some opening credits are so iconic, you can hum them after one note. Rank these legendary British telly themes from mildly catchy to absolute earworm royalty.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Doctor Who
That eerie, otherworldly wobble has been beaming into British living rooms since 1963. Still gives goosebumps before the TARDIS even appears.
B
Only Fools and Horses
Whether it's the closing 'Hooky Street' or the wistful opener, you're instantly back in Peckham with Del Boy and Rodney. Lovely jubbly.
C
EastEnders
The drumbeat that signals someone's about to get slapped, dumped, or revealed as your long-lost dad. Pure Walford magic.
D
Blackadder
That grand, parping fanfare perfectly sets up Edmund's next scheme. Sounds more regal than the actual royal family.
E
The Vicar of Dibley
Howard Goodall's angelic Psalm 23 arrangement is somehow both peaceful and packed with anticipation for Geraldine's chaos. A churchy classic.
