    I am truly shocked at only one previous mention of Hill Street Blues. This is the ultimate intro into any TV program which nearly everyone over 40 could name within a couple of seconds without having to think about first.

    Also the BBC cricket theme from the 70s and 80s - Soul Limbo

    I must confess to being a huge Twin Peaks fan, so you might think I'm biased.

    Nevertheless, I nominate Twin Peaks. A piece of music as weird and wonderful as the show itself.

    Great memories of mum allowing me to stay up on a school night to watch that night’s European match.

    The Sunday Big Match also evokes memories.

    The theme from CHiPs always got my pulse racing when I was a boy. How I wanted to be Erik Estrada.

    Hill Street Blues

    Good call. I'm currently re-watching this on C4 catch up. I was made for an old school television and as it was shot for US TV it's got a certain graininess that suits the general theme. It's stood up reasonably well for a programme that's 40 years old.
