I didn't stand a chance, did I? There are a few other British TV theme tunes of my era alongside that YouTube that bring back memories for me. "Robinson Crusoe" was fairly gay (well - two men alone on an island..) and "Double Deckers" was a great kiddie adventure show of the early 70s.
We used to get a surprising number of Eastern European children's TV programs for some reason - such as this Czech/East German version of Cinderella (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f7XWEgVc7w) that I remember well. I remember thinking the prince was dreamy.... ;-) Apparently, this is now the equivalent of "It's a Wonderful Life" in Scandinavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Nuts_for_Cinderella), where it's a Xmas tradition.
