So many classics to choose from, inc the aforementioned Black Beauty and Spiderman. Honoroble mentions must go to
The Six Million Dollar Man (not just the theme tune, but the greatest all round intro of all time)
Flashing Blade
Knight Rider
Airwolf
The Equalizer
but my fav theme will always be the original Starsky & Hutch score from Season 1 (1975-76)
Its a classic because it had a different intro and outro, and the outro is even better than the intro...

Red Dwarf and Blackadder, are you some sort of Howard Goodall fanboy?
He wrote both.
He wrote both.
Good call on Starsky & Hutch Platini. Have always been a big fan of Schifrin's work but in this case I slightly prefer Tom Scott's jazz-influenced theme of the 2nd series.
Have you noticed how close some of the Schifrin theme (especially the outro) sounds to his theme for Magnum Force:

(0:38 onwards)
But cracking stuff all round! I guess there are too many good themes out there to have an absolute favourite. Just have to admire the work of these clever composers.

John Barry was the greatest of them all - tv and film soundtracks.

Both william tell overture in different styles.
no lightbulb for JC either; but close enough for an answer. Simpler than your answer, William Tell tv show & William Tell overture
Shooting apples from boy's heads is a health and safety no no these days. Sadly.
I like the theme from The Champions . Tony Hatch , did that , i believe . He was the simon cowelll , of his day , ie , he was a bit of a basTaRd , when he was a judge on , opportunity knocks . The lovely , Alexandra Bastedo , was in The Champions . What a beautiful woman ,she was .

beautiful that from Morricone, JC. I first heard that when i watched Le Professionnel
Tony Hatch , did that , i believe . He was the simon cowelll of his day
f**k right off, tony hatch had talent. i don't think cowell can clap his hands in time let alone write music

great stuff, hfink. I didn't know that about Magum Force. Another classic !
the 70s were an amazing time for theme tracks when you think about it. I'm sure they get heavily sampled nowadays.

Too right Platini, the 70's were the best of times, for music and films 
Nice one Reynard. I've actually got that very LP pictured in the YouTubbery. It's a great theme that has been re-arranged and re-used a number of times. First cropped up in an Italian film called Maddalena (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n83VRAWDjAA), then Morricone later re-arranged it for Le Professionnel, the film Baphornet mentioned.
Bap you should listen to the William Tell TV show theme again and listen to the tune below the words, it's the same tune just a different style.
northanlite , I agree with you about tony hatch's talent as a songwriter , he wrote some good tunes , 'Where are you now' is a nice song . . I was referring to his cutting criticism on opp knocks , being similiar to cowells on his shows . I detest cowell .

I love the White Horse's theme , and i also love the theme from 'Follyfoot .
I've also just remembered , the themes from 'Robinson Crusoe' and The Onedin Line .
The Persuaders theme is good . It always made me feel , a little bit sad , that theme , i don't know why .
The unforgettable theme from , 'The World At War' , which i happen to think is the greatest programme ever produced on british television .
The Prisoner , and of course , The Avengers , are both great . I especially loved the Avengers theme .
Another one , i just remembered is 'Belle and Sebastian'. That's lovely .
One theme i absolutely hated , was the theme from 'Rhubarb' .
I think that so many of those tv shows are now unwatchable , but so many of the themes , like the one from 'Hawaii Five 0 , are brilliant .
Theme from 'Butterflies' is a sad beautiful , little thing .
tarzan in the 60s after school rousing theme tune worth a listen
Bump the elephant.
