There have been some amazing shows broadcasting on the small screen recently.
Brilliantly scripted, incredibly acted and with beautiful cinematography. However, one thing that I always loved in a TV show is a great theme tune.
It could be the trashiest TV show around (The OC for example), but if it has a good song, then it's got you hooked. Or take iconic anthems like from Fresh Prince Of Bel Air or Friends - you only need to hear a few notes and all the memories of the show come flooding back.
Then there are series like The Sopranos or CSI, who's theme songs make you feel like a badass just listening to them.
So in light of all this wonderful TV music, we've put together a mix of 10 great theme tunes that'll make you want to spend the rest of the weekend binge watching House or Veronica Mars.
As an added bonus enjoy indie electro-pop band CHRVCHES' amazing rendition of the Game Of Thrones theme song.
