Pretty simple really, what’s your favourite?
-
It's A Knockout!
-
Fantasy football
-
The BBC Test Match Cricket for me, closely followed by Ski Sunday
-
I too would have gone for TMS but I'll make the rule that 'Grand Prix' means the BBC Grand Prix theme with the Chain by Fleetwood Mac. Incomparable!

Thanks for making a rule in my poll 😂. You are right though, I do mean The Chain.

What about Wimbledon ? Decent.
Btw it's ski Sunday by a country mile

91% of the vote so far disagrees with you! Never been a fan of the Wimbledon one which is why I didn’t include it, always thought it’s too gentle and doesn’t really stir anything in me.
-
MOTD out of those, although I do like Wimbledon.
The real winner though? Tour de France!
-
God I hate the Tour's music.
-
When itv had football highlights, to U2's "beautiful day"? Perfectly timed vt and background hook??
-
Is that the original TDF theme from the 80's? If so that would be mine.
-
Superstars for me. Classic retro theme.
-
The fact there's no option for U2 from ITV's Premiership/Championship shows gives me hope for the future.
-
BBC using Faure's Pavane for the 98 World Cup wins by two decade's worth of light years.

Shite World Cup. But this made up for it.
-
I didn't think France '98 was that bad. Certainly better than the one four years earlier in the States.
-
For the World Cup I would pick Nessun Dorma from 1990..
As for other themes, I used to like the Sportsnight one, and Pot Black..

God, I've hated that from the first time I heard the BBC use it in 1990. How on Earth does anyone find that dirge 'inspirational'?
-
I see that the Grand Prix tune is in pole position right now.
-
The best one was when Final Score on the BBC used Theme From Sparta FC by The Fall. They then invited Mark E Smith to read out the results.

Have to disagree.. I thought it provided a great backdrop to the programmes as well as the concert before the tournament too..
Bloody expensive CD at £30 though.!

While we're at it we might as well include the real best TV sports theme.....

Something that wasn’t used as a tv theme, but in my opinion should have been, is
The Offiial Colourbox World Cup Theme - by Colourbox..
I expect BST would know that one..

I've had the 12" since 1986.
Ahem.

Ahem.
The one with the extended version on the A side, and an even better composition on the B side called “Phillip Glass” which merged into the shorter title music?
Snap.!
Is it a painting of Jimmy Hill on the cover? My record box is in our attic..
-
That's the one IDM.
-
According to Wiki, the BBC almost used it for the 86 World Cup theme.. shame they didn’t.!
-
As I recall, the record company 4AD made a big splash about sending it to the BBC and pushing it as a suggested official theme.
Colourbox were years ahead of their time, dropping in samples from movies like Cabaret Voltaire, but much poppier. Just Give 'Em Whiskey was a work of genius, cutting up samples from Westworld, The Prisoner and 2001.
-
I don’t know much of their other work, this gem came to me from the usual source, that was John Peel..
Anyway, back on track it would have made a good theme - perhaps it could be used in the future?
-
Ski Sunday for me.

IDM
Colourbox were also 2/3rds of MARRS who did Pump up the Volume.
