I reckon Watty and Darren should be choosing the next two tunes , although Darren's No 22. [80's TV] has yet to be guessed

Clues? New tunes?

OK, here's 25 and it's 90s TV.

RattattattattattattATT!!

dum-da-daaaa-da daaaa-daaaa-daaa-da,
dum-da-daaa-daaa daaaa-daaaa-daaa-daaa DAAAAAAA
(repeat first bit again)

Does anyone want a clue to number 22?

[Darren] Yes please!

[Brendan] OK, think Richard Briers.

Ever Decreasing Circles. A puzzlingly unrepeated top-quality classic...

[Darren] Number 25 - Men Behaving Badly?

[rab] re. EDC - funny, we were saying that only last night .. Howard & Hilda - a sublime coupling.

[Chalky] In exactly those words? That's scary. *sweeps the room for bugging devices*

[rab] yup - during Mother's Day Dinner. My sister-in-law has neighbours [married couple] who always leave their house in matching outfits so naturally the conversation turned to ...
[Darren] I won't attempt a guess at either of yours 'cause I think rab and penelope may be right

Are we out of challenges? If so, here's another "classical" one (26):

takatakataa takatakataa takatakata takatakatakataa
takatakataa takatakataa takatakata takatakatakataa
(continues behind ...)
daaa daa di dip dip, daaa daa di dop dop, daaa daa di dipdip
dee dee dee dee dee dip dip, dee dee dee dee dee dip dip
dee daaa daa di dop dop ...

[rab] Correct. It's one of my all-time favourites. [penelope] Correct.

[HB] Is it the "advance of the Nazis" moment in Shostakovich's "Lenigrad" symphony, first movement?

Um, "Leningrad"...

[JLE] Right in one. Note to self - try someting more obscure next time.

No 27: Children's TV, definitely 80's, maybe before, maybe after, I dunno.

Do-di di-di-didi do-dowo-do

Diddly di-di-didi do-dowo-do
Do-di do-do-do doo-do
Do-di di-di-didi do-dowo-do

Dudlo do-didlo-da do-didlo-da
Duh-di-do da-dla-daa
Do-di di-di-didi do-dowo-do
Du-dli-do di-da-dalalala.

I hope this one's easier to guess than it was to type in... I missed out the accompaniment on the grounds of sanity.
