27 Top TV Themes/Time For TV - Various Artists

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: Lack of well-known artists may put some people off.

...The soundtrack to the OC has always been one of the major selling points of the television series. This CD features 12 of the tracks found on the soundtrack of the television series. The CD includes the hugely popular theme song "California" by Phantom Planet as well as other songs from the series. My personal favourites include Alexi Murdoch's "Orange Sky" and the brilliant "We Used To Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols. The mixture of styles of music makes for a unique CD, and the songs all fit perfectly into the album. This CD is essential for any fan of the television series and the songs will bring back memories of some of the show's most memorable moments. Highly recommended... Read review

...Music from the TV series The Thorn Birds. The TV show was based on the 1977 novel by Colleen McCullough. A best seller at the time and impulsive viewing for ITV viewers in the UK in the early/mid 1980s. The programmes was set on a fictional farm - or "sheep station" in the Australian outback in pre-war days and focussed on the dramas that unfold and develop around the Clearys, a millionaire family. Over the years, various deaths, crises and disasters tell the Cleary family story. The disasters are deaths by fires, drowning and... if my memory serves me correctly, death by pig or wild boar! This CD features 58 tracks from the original Thorn Birds soundtrack. Whereas the music may not help the ladies with the swooning over Richard Chamberlain, as the early 80's hearthrob, the tracks do take you emotion memory back to the programme... Read review

Advantages: All the childrens' favourite songs.
Disadvantages: You might start singing them in public.

...few years you will be aware that the Tweenies do live shows daily in Cred Street. This was the first time my children had seen any of their favourite charcters other than on TV and it was such a joy watching their faces. I get such a buzz in Alton towers anyway as I find it such a magical place that this song just brings back loads and loads of great memories. 5. **Andy Pandy Theme** This is my last choice. Now the song itself, all 29 seconds of it, is nothing special but I had to choose this simply because it is something I remember from my childhood. Bill and Ben are on this CD, but I am not old enough to remember them first time round, although obviously I had heard plenty about them. Noddy too is on this CD, however the Theme tune is somewhat different to what I remember. The actual programme has changed. Andy Pandy, Teddy... Read review
