    Default The SJA Theme tune

    Is it me, or does it have a touch of "Will This Do?" about it? Bring back the theme to K-9 and Company!

    It's not the most tuneful creation we've ever heard, is it? But then, it's traditional for a Sarah-Jane show to have a rubbish theme
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I got the impression that they wanted something Doctor Who like but not recognisable as such.

    It is a bit rubbish though.

    The title sequence is poor as well. Why make it so Who-ey?

    They should have got Sladen to sing a jolly song. Maybe a cover of Jackson's "Thriller" or AllStar's "Bump in the Night".

    Then they got have brought it out as a single...ker-ching!

    What is there to hum? Was thinking perhaps the theme from The Sky At Night would be better?

    You know, the little 'diddle-der-der der-der der-der der-derrrrrrr' bit. Although when I hum it, I sometimes find myself going into the theme from 'Hancock's Half Hour'.

    I thought the "Torchwood" theme was tuneless but eventually it lodged in my head but the SJ one is taking it's time.

    Then again I'm the only person in the world that isn't that fussed about Murray Gold's music.

    It's crap, like someone trying to cover the Doctor Who theme without having to pay for the license.

    It should have been Sladen strolling through the town surrounded by kids singing "(You Gotta Have) Friends". It could end with a wink to the camera and her slapping her thigh.

    Si.
