Escape To The Country:



Linda's Theme from Wallander:


From Da Vinci's Inquest:


I don't tend to watch shows that have full length songs in them, so they're all intros.

This was a 30s-style song from the Dr. Who episode Daleks in Manhattan and it also was in the last episode with David Tennant but with just the music. I downloaded the song and it's one of my most listened to song in my music library.

Woke Up This Morning, Alabama 3. From The Sopranos.



Never saw a single episode (never had HBO). I've heard it's quite good, though, and it is a terrific song.
