This is a link post Picture Box Theme music - complete and very frightening
The sad news about Tony Hart has led me to a Youtube trove of old kids tv shows, and I came across this gem.

Most people have memories of seeing Picture Box when off school, and it's 'creepy' theme tune. Well some bright spark has found the full version.

The actual title sequence can be found here

This is a normal post ^ absolutely this!
Can anyone remember the name of the horror/thriller tv show from the late 70s, where the opening titles showed the silouette of a darkened armchair in the glow of TV light where a shadowy man sits down, then suddenly on the arms of the chair he reveals long claws? It terrified me as a kid. Was it possibly armchair theatre?

I remember that. Another creepy one I've been searching for a clip of this. It was dark for a kids show, that Marchpane getting Birdie burnt to death.

Anyone remember 'The Clifton House Mystery', a six part BBC children's drama c1978.

A music box, a haunted room in a mansion, blood dripping from the ceiling etc.Terrifying. I think the music box tune would still send shivers up my spine 30 years later.
