Quintus 5,391 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This is the theme to a gameshow. A GAMESHOW!As heard in the actual gameshow for those who don't know it: Never in a million years would we get something of this class played over the opening of a new tv programme thesedays, let alone a gameshow. I still enjoy this particular intro when I catch the show every now and then, it feels wonderfully medieval and doom-mongering! So where have all the GREAT tv themes gone? If you know of any, please share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 925 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So where have all the GREAT tv themes gone? If you know of any, please share...In the same place where great film music has gone along with great film composers..By the way, yeah, i agree, it's a very good theme!! (and very sophisticated sounding! it shows that the composer knows his craft very well!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
