Classic kids tv show themes

As I'm bored thought I'd have a trawl through some classic TV tunes on YT, this is one everyone over 30 should be familiar with.

Grange Hill original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE7gAEsI0XY

And this one is also a classic

I agree to a point with Stingray, The Banana Splits, and Pugwash of course.

But Thunderbirds was best: 'heresy' or not!

Thunderbirds was class. Fireball was good too though. But don’t forget Stingray, anything can happen in the next half hour.

Rubbish Boss, The Lone Ranger theme was far better than the William Tell Overture.

You do realise they weren’t real don’t you Boss? Or have you defined a whole new meaning to the term ‘getting wood’?
