Reilley-Ace of Spies, was a TV series from the 80's. It's set around the real life story of Sydney Riley, a Russian born Jew who spied for England in the early 1900's. The theme is "The Gadfly", written by Alexander Feinzimmer Shostakovich. The entire series was recently repeated on TPTV.

[When The Levee Breaks]

The 8:15 From Manchester. Used to love this, on Saturday mornings. Always got the theme tune stuck in my head!!

 

[When The Levee Breaks]

Bit of Clannad. Seen to remember this being played on an early Saturday evening, just as my Mum and Dad were getting ready to go to the local WMC. Can almost smell the Brut aftershave and Charlie Gold perfume when I hear this hahaha

The GOAT of children's TV show theme tunes

Always struck me as a rather incongruous piece of music. Presume the composer was told that the opening credits would have white men riding on horses, and he thought a bit of Western was the order of the day.

Interesting fact, Mike Post composer of the rockford files also brought us these classics
