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.
