Tv Theme Follyfoot (Full Theme)

[@grahammaguire404]

I'm 58 now and I just got an irresistible urge to listen to this for the first time in over 40 years ....and guess what it sounds better than ever it truly does,I'm also tempted to listen to the captain Scarlett,Joe 90, Thunderbirds, stingray and other classic 1960s theme tunes to my childhood TV heroes...it's worth a mention some of these theme tunes graced the dance floor at the ICONIC WIGAN CASINO NIGHT CLUB!!!!,now that's one hell of a " NOD , THUMBS UP SEAL OF APPROVAL" .Can't for the life of me think of anything today that even comes close....so anyone of my generation or just curious music lovers of any age ....go on I dare you seek them out especially the Joe 90 theme tune..if you don't tap your feet or smile ...book an appointment with your cardiologist and get an ECG ...coz your heart is in need of immediate examination!!!!!,as always thanks for reading my post..any comments either good or not so good are always welcome and I truly respect your opinions.... thanks again!!!!

Marvelous. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Some of the incidental music was from the Chappel music library and one particular track also features in 'The Prisoner's' 'The Chimes of Big Ben' episode. I often watch the opening titles over and over again. Dear Arthur English as Slugger was hilarious but was only a comedy support. He deserved his own story lines. Originally watched this in the 70's when it was 1st shown but my memory of 'Randall & Hopkirk' and 'Catweazle' is earlier.

Suppose the horse and cart were still within living memory, so, nostalgia. Even I remember the rag and bone man with his horse drawn cart back then. As a result, Champion the wonder horse, Follyfoot, White Horses, Black Beauty....

@@AndrewHalliwell Ah, White Horses! The theme song from that can reduce me to jelly at the overload of 1970s nostalgia. I know it was a rough time for many people with the oil crisis, Winter of Discontent etc. (I remember my dad complaining about the price of petrol going over a pound a gallon) - but I was a kid and I remember it as a sort of golden wonderland... funny how perspective is everything.

The theme tune of Follyfoot is sung by the original incarnation of English West Midlands folk quartet the Settlers. Follyfoot was originally transmitted in the days when we only had three analogue television stations (BBC1, BBC2 and ITV) in the United Kingdom.
