Doctor Who is no longer the UK’s favourite TV theme tune?
Doctor Who has one of the most iconic theme tunes of all time – it’s just one of those tunes that everyone can hum at a moment’s notice.
But now it’s been knocked off the top spot of Britain’s favourite TV tunes, as chosen by a new poll run by Classic FM, the BFI and Radio Times.
So what song could have replaced such a famous piece of music?
Yup, the Sherlock theme tune. We’ve got to admit that as much as we love the show, it’s a surprise to see it beat the likes of Who, Thunderbirds and Match of the Day, but there you go – the people have spoken.
The entire top 10 goes like this:
- Sherlock
- Doctor Who
- Robin of Sherwood
- The Persuaders!
- Inspector Morse
- Poldark
- The Avengers
- Thunderbirds
- The Adventures of Black Beauty
- Match of the Day
Michael Price, who composed the Sherlock theme tune with David Arnold, jokingly apologised to fans of the others shows and said that he voted for Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em.
Speaking of Sherlock, one of the show’s stars recently opened up about its future.
