“Who are you? How did you get in here?”
“I’m a locksmith, and I’m a locksmith”.

Not just the quotes that are, er, quotable. There are so many other plot/visual "catch phrases".

The disagreeing on-screen and spoken intro titles.
The guest star being offed before the credits have finished (or very soon after) IIRC.
The non-frozen freeze-frame (if you follow ) endings.

The lift in the Police Station in which Frank is often talking to Ed and unlikely get in on various floors - opera singers, divers etc all while the conversation continues with no reactions

Sledge Hammer borrowed some of the same team, notably Tino Insana, and was very funny too.

i’ve already requested it for my funeral when the coffin goes down.

I still also like the theme to the seemingly long-forgotten "All Quiet on the Preston Front" - "Here I Stand" by The Milltown Brothers.

Topically, the episode in which they were all suffering from a lethal virus of which Captain Trunk seemed to be immune.
Hammer's take on the situation: " Maybe it doesn't affect Captain's "

I suspect we must have had the Professionals. If we did I missed it but here you go

"What's this music Lynn?"

"It's the theme tune from Black Beauty"

"It's brilliant!"

Are you, by any chance, occasionally tardy for social occasions?

[Ditchfinder General]

I'm sure someone/ several will have mentioned the theme from The Onedin Line. And yes, I will be late for my own funeral!

Yes indeed .. "Spartacus - Adagio" by Khachaturian. A beautiful piece of music and perfect for that series.

Well, I’m sure most of these have cropped up earlier, but my top three themes are:

Second: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1qDy4OMAkgY
First!: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IldiTo2ZMNg

I run a weekly music quiz on Twitter and these were the top three when we did ‘TV Themes’.
