"I always put in scenes that contain humour. I guess that’s the way I write."
Sad news of the death of Brian Clemens, the genius behind such timeless "tongue-in-cheek" British television action series as The Avengers (it was he who cast Diana Rigg to replace original star Honor Blackman), The Professionals, and many, many more, has prompted me to post a similar-yet-different set of themes to a blog I posted five-and-a-half years ago.
Here's a fabulous selection of theme music from shows Mr Clemens created or for which he wrote. It's quite a significant cross-section of seminal series indeed...
The Protectors!:
The Adventurer!:
The Baron!:
Danger Man!:
The Avengers!:
The New Avengers!:
The Professionals!:
And possibly my favourite (theme, not show) - The Persuaders!:
RIP Brian Horace Clemens OBE (30th July 1931 – 10th January 2015)
