They sure don’t.
“The Singing Ringing Tree” was, it seems, broadcast in the “Tales from Europe” series. Some great little nuggets emerged from there.
Just remembered - “Robinson Crusoe” and that evocative signature score.

I used to find it really boring, but there wasn’t much choice in those days!

Black Beauty was and still is, my Wife’s all time favourite kids TV show, she loves the music score.
Another of my favourites as a kid, was a Harlech TV production called ‘Children of the Stones’ it was genuinely spooky as you like for the young 'uns. It was set in and around Avebury in Wiltshire, a favourite place for me and 'er indoors to visit.

I’ve just started watching Bergerac from the beginning on Britbox. Sadly however, they’re only showing the first two seasons which may force me to buy the full 27 disc DVD set. Hard to believe it was now 40 years ago since it first hit the screens. As a 13 year old, I was glued to it.

I remember Z Cars. Softly Softly was a spin-off from it.

That theme tune is iconic. It lives on at Everton football club, where they play it before every home game as the players come out onto the pitch.
Watford also used it until a couple of years ago, but I understand they’ve changed to an Elton John song now.
