Loved the Double Deckers, as I loved double decker buses, and going on the top deck of them, when I was little. I thought the idea of having your own bus and warehouse, to hang out in, was just so cool, and thought the theme tune was brilliant.
Ohh me too, I so wanted to be Tiger!

TV theme songs & theme tunes are dying out because TV companies believe that viewers will take the chance to channel surf while the theme is on & find something else to watch.
It's strange how sometimes a TV theme song will be remembered much more fondly than the show itself ...

Few sport ones too, Champions/Grand National, London Marathon and We Are The Champions with Ron Pickering.
Two more too, the cartoon of D'artagnan and the 3 Musketeers and of Around the World in 80 days with Willie Fogg.
Also, give Scott ad Charlenes Wedding in Neighbours a mention as there won't ever be another thread to bring it up in.
