The Chain - Fleetwood Mac - Grand Prix
There must be some more?
Mash - Suicide is painless
Yeah, good one BN
House - Teardrop
Not sure how I know that as never seen it.

All the CSI shows are the who.

"Way Down in the Hole" (Tom Waits) - The Wire
"Red Right Hand" (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) - Peaky Blinders
The Persuaders - John Barry, I think.
I like the Billy Connolly quote (I think, again) - 'My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger'
It was by CCS.Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin - Top Of The Pops
mt, you might be thinking of PMF, Premiata Forneria Marconi, an Italian Prog band.
count, you are right, its all a bit vague pre 1975 these days. The music was good though.
Still can't find the World in Action tune, loved it at the time.

World In Action:
The Keith Floyd cooking programs
The Waltz in Black by The Stranglers
Isn't CSI Baba O'Riley?
Wasn't Keith Floyd Peaches? I could be wrong again of course.
Just googled it and I appear to be wrong ,maybe Peaches was at the end.
No t'was the Waltz in Black...well the opening theme was.
Edit. You're right. 🙂 The closing theme is Peaches. Obviously he was a Stranglers fan.
Barbara O' Reilly is by the Who.
