TV theme tune quiz [Archive]

A few years ago I put together some extracts of TV themes for a trivia night - and I thought you lot might like a go.

Each link is to an mp3 file. You'll need a pc with a sound card, speakers (or headphones) and software to play mp3 files (windows media player will be fine).

Each file is about 100k, so if you open them all, you will have downloaded about 3Mb.

As normal there are no prizes, but please reply with each number and the tv show.

They are mainly from the 70's & 80's and although I didn't live in Australia at that time, I believe they were all shown here.

There are some easy ones and some not so easy ones.

I'm away for the weekend so I'll give you some clues that'll hopefully help you get them all:

3. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv03.mp3
This is a very famous cartoon from the 60's and onwards. If I included just one more note it would be obvious.

9. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv09.mp3
This is a British quiz show from the 80's and onward.

15. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv15.mp3
This is a cartoon from the 70's, a bit obscure as it is more of an animated sitcom than a normal slapstick cartoon.

16. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv16.mp3
This is the ending theme from a very well know British comedy sketch show from the 70's and 80's.

24. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv24.mp3
This is a "cult" British secret agent drama from the 60's.

15. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv15a.mp3

There's nothing more obvious I can add music wise to 16 & 24

16 Is probably one of the most famous British comedy shows to come out of the 70's. It was basically two comedians doing a series on sketches together and on their own.

16. http://users.bigpond.net.au/manfred/tv/tv16.mp3
This is the ending theme from a very well know British comedy sketch show from the 70's and 80's.

24 Is more obscure - most people would have heard of it, but not that many have probably seen it.
