What's your favourite theme tune? Mine's Only When I Laugh. Mournful and sad, it's not exactly a toe tapping classic, but there's something about it that really hits the spot with me. Conversely, I hate comedies that try to be too cool with their theme tunes. For example, much as I love Peep Show, I hate the bland indie tune they choose to front it.
Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads
Captain Butler. It's a slightly warped version of the Sex Psitols Frigging in the Rigging. can't get any better than that!
Cheers.
Taxi and Mash
Taxi for me, too. No question.
Sorry, forgot Mash
The Snuff Box one, super, smashing, great.
My favourite comedy theme tune is Two in Clover

As it's quite funny.
I also like the Home James theme tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHkJ8tSIQY4
Another good theme tune is Desmonds

Altough I have seen only one episode and it is quite funny, the Curry and Chips theme tune is quite poor, tries to be funny but just isn't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7FPnTtZq8o
Welcome Back, Kotter
Fawlty Towers
I like Curbs, that always puts a smile on my face.
Seinfeld's is ace.
The pilot theme tune was good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PwH0fGBodM
It's not a comedy theme tune, but I always like to hear the HBO logo before a program, as I know I'm in for some good telly.
Steptoe & Son
It's really fit for purpose and portrays the series well! Excellent stuff!
Benny Hill - the chase music.
