From Bananaman to Grange Hill, join us in a spot of TV nostalgia as we celebrate 50 great 1980s kids' TV theme songs...
There comes a time to turn away from the horrors of the world and retreat underneath the soft, comforting duvet of nostalgia. That time is Friday. That metaphorical duvet is below.
Here are fifty of the best kids’ TV theme songs (spread over two pages and in arbitrary order) of the 1980s. Some, like Alan Hawkshaw’s distinctive Grange Hill intro, are unarguable classics of the era, while others, like Mike Harding's Count Duckula, only started in the late-eighties and spent the rest of their run in the next decade.
Obviously, there being only 50 on this list, we may have missed out your favourite (deliberately or otherwise). Let us know if so, but remember that links may take a while to appear in the comments thread because...

Another week, another load of adorable kids, wacky old people, singers and dancers on Britain's Got Talent. Some were good, some were not so good. Tell us who you loved and who you loathed on episode five in Digital Spy's exclusive poll...
The Best
Jack and Cormac
David Walliams called them "One Direction meets Simon and Garfunkel", we call them bloody adorable. Did you find the cheeky Irish schoolboys' performance grand?
Pre Skool
Providing their screaming didn't exacerbate your hangover from Friday night, and you're not too outraged by primary school kids dancing to 'Sexy and I Know It', Pre Skool are a smart choice for this week's best act.
Rosie O'Sullivan
19-year-old old Rosie O'Sullivan may not exactly look like a popstar, but who cares when her voice is that impressive? Go on, vote her your favourite act and make her mum wail with joy again.
Philip Green
Hellooooooo Philip Green.

Britain’s Got Talent hopeful Mark James has revealed that if he wins the series on Saturday, he will use the £100,000 prize money to set up his own pantomime production company.
The singer who impressed Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan with his half man, half woman audition has previously starred in panto alongside Sue Pollard, Neighbours star Anne Charleston and Jane Tucker from Rainbow. In fact Sue even rang him up to congratulate him on his Bgt success.
On how he would spend the money if he won, Mark, who will appear on tonight’s semi final said:
I bought a house a couple of years ago so firstly I would pay off the mortgage, but I would like to have my own pantomime production company. I love pantomime as it’s for everybody so the money would definitely be used in a good way.
