Fully agree about Robinson Crusoe. I have the soundtrack ('Palm Trees' is also excellent). Is there a version out there that lasts more than 30 seconds?

Would add The Flashing Blade.

Wouldn't be that keen about Black Beauty but it does remind me of Judi Bowker.

It simply has to be the original Crossroads theme, a veritable Tony Hatch classic!

Thanks for the Robinson Crusoe link. Maybe I am not remembering it as well as I should (excuse to get the DVD out) but I thought the theme was just the opening 30 odd seconds.

Yes that's a common mix up northanlite. I remember it costing someone a heck of a lot of money on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when they confidently plumped for The Persuaders having the Avenues & Alleyways theme.
