Adverts using TV Theme tunes

[rjcb23]

Need to find 10 adverts that use TV Themes as their music.

The adverts need to be no older than 10 years but the theme music can be any age.

The music must be the original music that was used for the TV programme, and ther TV programme must have been British TV (although doesn't necessarily have to be British)

Have got one already: the recent Citroen advert using the Happy Days theme tune.

Thanks

There was an ad not so long ago that used the Bod TV theme ( could have been for yogurt ), but I can't clearly remember what it was for.

Likewise with an ad that used the Grange Hill theme.

The Nissan Almeria car ads had "The Sweeney " and "The Professionals" themes.

There must have been an ad that used the Mission Impossible theme tune. Something like a floor cleaner or disinfectant rings a bell.

cheers for them so far

of course - the Carling Black Label advert used the Mission impossible theme (the squirrel going through the"assault course" to get to the food)

The Bod TV music is for Cow & Gate follow on milk.

Recently SKY TV used the theme music from the old children's TV series "The Herbs" for their ads.

Quaker Oats are currently using Windy Miller from "Camberwick Green" but I can't remember at the moment if they use the theme tune

Picture Loans have a (really irritating) ad on cable at the moment that uses the Vision-On Gallery music.

few more,

Nat West had a credit card ad a few years ago that used the theme from "The Littlest Hobo"

Maynards wine gums used the "The Goodies" theme tune (but if I remember correctly they re-wrote the lyrics)

"The A-Team" theme was played on church bells in a Weetabix ad

Nestle used the theme from "Dynasty" on one of the Kit-Kash ads

Possibly 10 years ago, or maybe longer, the excellent 'Black Beauty' theme was used in an ad, but all I can remember was it involved beer and a guy dressed up in a pantomime horse outfit.
