[chalky] YAY! Blind date it is!

[Watty] Aye Aye Cap'n!

[pen] er, actually - now I look at it, it's not Blue Peter (Barnacle Bill), is it?
Dabba dum-dum-dumma

Dumma-dummadumma- dumma-dumma dumma-dummma-dum....
It's the good old Sailor's Hornpipe. Hmm. More difficult than it looks, this game.
Meanwhile, another classic sitcom:

 

Yup,that's whole opening theme. Promise.

Porridge

Just a suggestion, if I may: we should number the entries as we suggest them: Penelope's "Blue Peter/Sailor's Hormpipe" theme was, I think, entry number 10, Watty's somewhat cryptic entry is Number 11, so whoever posts a new "tune" (which might be me in a mo) should number it as 12. We're all so good at numbering our postings (cf: "Just a Cheddar Gorge") so this should present no problems. Also, it will facilitate the occasional roundup of resolved and as-yet-unresolved tunes. By my estimation, as yet unresolved are:

3. Herr Bratsche's "Dit dit dit daa daa daa daa daa daa"; and
9. ZK's tantalising "Deee doo-doo-doop, deee doo-doo-doop".

Here's mine:
12.

Pa-pa-pa paah, paaah pa-pa-paaah
pa pah-pah-pah-pah pah-pah-pah-pah pah-pada-paah
Pa-pa-pa paaah, paaah pa-pa-paaah
pa-pa-pa-pada-pa-pa-pa pah-pada paah
Pa-pa-pa paaah, pa-pa-pa paaah da da Waaaaah-waaaah.

Cartoon, entire theme.

[Kim] Hokey Cokey - Number 9. is "Dangermouse" (I think...)

Certainly sounds like it could be. (400k wav file)

3. [HB] is that "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perin"?

[Bigsmith] That's the fella.

Pen got it with "Some Mothers Do Ave 'Em". The 'Morse' reference? Apparently the composer (Ronnie Hazelhurst?) got the rhythm (with slight licence) from spelling out the programme name in Morse code. And thus we have the short them I quoted in its entirety. May well be the cheapest ever original TV theme tune, with only 2 flutes playing it.

I did wonder about Some Mothers, as indeed Dangermouse but stupidly didn't think to track down and listen to them to check. So I lose two points...

Bigsmith has it! Dangermouse it was!

I vote that whoever gets the last of these two choses the next. Still unaccounted for then...

Mine's blind date as Chalky guessed earlier.

We clearly need another one -
