Doctor Who has one of the most iconic theme tunes of all time – it's just one of those songs that everyone can hum at a moment's notice.
But now it's been knocked off the top spot of Britain's favourite TV tunes, as chosen by a new poll run by Classic FM, the BFI and Radio Times.
So what song could have replaced such a famous piece of music?
What to Read Next
Yup, the Sherlock theme tune. We've got to admit that as much as we love the show, it's a surprise to see it beat the likes of Who, Thunderbirds and Match of the Day, but there you go – the people have spoken.
The entire top 10 goes like this:
- Sherlock
- Doctor Who
- Robin of Sherwood
- The Persuaders!
- Inspector Morse
- Poldark
- The Avengers
- Thunderbirds
- The Adventures of Black Beauty
- Match of the Day
Obviously these are all shows that have been created in the UK, which is why there aren't any legendary themes like Game of Thrones and Yu-Gi-Oh! (don't even disagree on this one, it is THE best).
