I am sure that most Youtube users will remember this classic title sequence done in the 80's with a revolving box. Co incidentally, it was the box that fascinated me from when I watched this programme as a child Related: 80s, box, educational Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Really creepy music for a programme for young children. Always freaked me out, as did that presenter.
By: theaphexchin. on 27 Apr 08, 19:50:46
I miss my childhood :-(
By: GibbletsMcGinty. on 24 Apr 08, 11:53:01
Picture Box and Tales of the Unexpected both had themes that conveyed a deep, undefined sense of latent evil.
By: GrandDizzy. on 22 Apr 08, 20:41:21
Wow, that brings back really, REALLY early memories for me. Possibly the first thing I can remember seeing ever. Even the music sounds like the sort of strange noise you hear from the womb! Very freaky.
By: djnee. on 22 Apr 08, 16:13:11
Ah, no way!!! Im so pleased someone else has the same 'phobia' about the theme tune!!! I had it with Picture Box and Tales Of The Unexpected! Both were horrible tunes!!! Cant explain why though!??
By: joaniedutch. on 18 Apr 08, 17:35:04
I remember this from about 1970, when I was in junior 1. It was in black and white then, same presenter though. I always loved the music, fantastic!
By: 2206411411. on 15 Apr 08, 05:26:26
The thing that amazes me to this day was the ability of television producers and presenters to use music and use it well. That's the thing that really dominated those shows and probably scarred more than a few minds permanently. This theme is a great example.
By: key2kingdom. on 13 Apr 08, 23:50:38
sublime music, I remember this show (in the dim & distant). thanks for posting.
By: gordonjcp. on 10 Apr 08, 21:07:35
Yeah, even now - nearly 30 years after first seeing this program - that theme music still shits me right up. Does anyone know what it's called?
By: tireoghainian. on 10 Apr 08, 09:01:27
There were only two things I feared from the 80's. Daleks and the sinister theme tune of Picture Box...and it revolving eerily to the tune! If Syvester McCoy had've been confronted by Daleks spinning around to the Picture Box theme tune. I would not have slept soundly for years!! LOL
By: Ironlord2015. on 07 Apr 08, 00:48:54
Ha ha yeah, I totally agree with you mate. I also remember those days off school at home feeling "ill" with a "bad stomache" or something similar lol, and I would often watch this, and it has stuck in my memory too ever since, the spinning box and the music etc. Tales me waayyyyyyy back :D
By: Ashworth6. on 06 Apr 08, 21:37:58
Used to watch this in the TV room at school. The episodes I remember most vividly are the Red Balloon one and the ones where they serialised the 1978 Richard Harris version of Gulliver's Travels.
By: Rathardican. on 06 Apr 08, 20:04:48
forced to watch this dire prog from P3 onwards! god! usually had the witchy looking Atara Ben Tovim trying to play peter and the wolf on a bloody flute!!
By: YUNLUNG31. on 06 Apr 08, 19:57:35
picture box was awsome! i loved it
By: frankg67. on 30 Mar 08, 10:43:27
This is haunting! A memory that has stuck in my head for years! Wow! Yep, must have had a few sick days to have watched this! Where the heck do these things come from?
By: philipattwood. on 28 Mar 08, 02:54:33
Same for me!! Really strange, yet somehow it still seems fresh. I don't remember watching it at school (we were tortured with 'Stop, Look & Listen' with Chris Tarrant), but I do remember seeing it at home. I guess I must have pulled a few sickies.
By: WirralBagpuss. on 24 Mar 08, 10:18:30
WOW! That brought back memories!! And yes that box and music was damn scary too!!. Thanks for showing it !!! :)
By: Quetelet. on 21 Mar 08, 20:55:38
I recall watching this at primary school in the late 1960's/early 1970's. It was something I'd totally forgotten about until I happended by onto your videos, THANK YOU. :-)
By: spacecowboy22. on 04 Mar 08, 15:43:25

Thank goodness I finally found this, thank you for posting it as I thought I had dreamt it, had forgotten the name. I too have memories of the tv coming out at lunchtime if too wet to play outdoors but we got excited when allowed to watch "rainbow"
By: LittleDrinkies. on 16 Feb 08, 13:27:40
Hello. Agree with all below comments, something about this programme that will stay with me, probebly the music, or was it the story of the red balloon? Top marks though. Thanks for sharing.
