The poll of best TV theme tunes was topped by music that perfectly matched a series that was of the highest quality (Inspector Morse voted No 1 theme song in poll of TV and music fans, 30 August). But what about a theme tune attached to a less-celebrated drama? What about Crossroads, that Midlands soap with shaky dialogue and even shakier sets? The music was epic! I used to tune in for the last minute just to listen to Tony Hatch’s sweeping melody and those bold piano chords.
