Journey back in time to the 1980s when perms and pacman were considered cool, and the most enthralling series captured our hearts and had us humming the title sequence to our favourite shows.

One of these shows is Dallas, which makes a much anticipated return to our screens on Tuesday, 28 August at 21:00 on M-Net.

The 1980s were all about VCR’s, Tina Turner and the well worn A-Team phrase, "I love it when a plan comes together..."

One of the best ways to celebrate these fantastic series, some of the greats include: Dallas, Knight Rider, MacGyver, Baywatch, Riptide, Murder She Wrote, The A Team and Airwolf, is to let the theme tunes take over your brain radio for the day.
