First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on August 20th 2023

Often it was the exciting thumping nature of the theme music that became most identified with so many TV series, and was remembered long after the various shenanigans of that week’s episode was forgotten, and so, for one week only, VISION ON SOUND presents an hour of what might be the most exciting TV theme tunes ever...!

In a playlist including STINGRAY, SUPERCAR, FIREBALL XL5, THUNDERBIRDS, UFO, CAPTAIN SCARLET AND THE MYSTERONS, SPACE: 1999, THE AVENGERS, REDCAP, THE NEW AVENGERS, THE PROFESSIONALS, Z CARS, THE PRISONER, HAWAII FIVE-O, KOJAK, IRONSIDE, THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, THE APOLLO LAUNCHES, DEPARTMENT S, RETURN OF THE SAINT, and THE SWEENEY, with me burbling on in between them trying to make some kind of sense of what makes each of them feel so very, very exciting...!

Whilst we can’t quite promise to deliver the most exciting hour of radio you’ve ever heard, I hope that you enjoy it.
