^^ Seeing and hearing The Avengers intro again brings back fond memories of Patrick MacNee & Diana Rigg. I enjoyed The New Avengers too, with the theme by Laurie Johnson.

Such a great theme indeed.

My favourite though is this 4 minutes of Hammond Organ magic

^^ I enjoyed hearing the World in Action theme again. It's nice to hear the full-length version in its entirety.

Most regular viewers of the show probably wouldn't be aware that the theme tune is classic prog.

I watched "Godzilla: Final Wars" recently and it plays like a cross between "Thunderbirds" and "Power Rangers" but the most interesting thing about it is the contributions to the excellent soundtrack by Keith Emerson.
