Tube Talk has pulled together some of its personal favourites from the TV archives below:
"Where everybody knows your name!" - Cheers
*Clap, clap clap, clap, clap* - Friends
"The playground is where I spend most of my days" - Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
*Waaaaaahwoooooo* - Doctor Who
*Drum roll. Cue the sax* - Hawaii 5-0
"Woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun" - The Sopranos
Stick a pony in your pocket - Only Fools And Horses
What do you think is the greatest TV theme tune of all time? Can anything top Dallas?
