Hello there Pop Pickers and welcome to a countdown of the pick of the pops – a look at the top telly theme tunes of the past few years and a baker’s dozen of classic and oddball TV tunes. Presented in no order but representing the cream of the crop in that most underrated of musical artistic endeavors, join Andrew and put your earphones in and prepare to be amazed at the breadth of musical majesty awaiting within.

Step back to the 1970’s once again and burn rubber through the streets of Bay City in your tricked out Ford Torino. Yes, this time out Andrew looks at seminal 70’s cop show Starsky & Hutch. What did it get right? What did it get wrong? Was Starsky the cool one? And what the hell was a Huggy Bear? So, speed down an alleyway, crash through some convenient boxes and shoot first and then agonise about it to your girlfriend later as Andrew ponders the word on the street. Andrew gratefully acknowledges the work of K Hannah Korossy which was invaluble in the production of this episode.

It’s that dead part of the year where people are full of food but the New Year hasn’t kicked off. So, just for the people who have to go back to work for a few days, here’s Andrew talking about the classic 1950’s Science Fiction movie Forbidden Planet and then the 2 part Space 1999 episode The Bringers Of Wonder!

Journey back to the early 1980’s as Andrew takes a look at Kenneth Johnson‘s seminal sci-fi classic V, it’s less seminal sequel V The Final Battle and its nowhere near as good threequel V The Series. It’s all about eating rats and hot lizard women.

In the history of television, Revamping a show has never worked. Well, almost never. Join Andrew as he looks at a few that did. Or didn’t, whatever the case may be.
