Could be one of those that never got broadcasted here. If you're referring to Spooks that's indeed the case as far as I know.

Spooks? What association (other than the name) is there with Halloween in Spooks?
It was broadcast in Sweden, on Kanal 5. It is widely acknowledged as the most influential television show of the modern age and cited as having a special following among academics. You know it. I know you do!

Sorry, I don't have that channel, since two years I actually don't have any cable channels.

Ah, now you're talking. I still haven't found a supplier for 'a little lizard in crimson' though!

Now imagine what it would do for software development if we could have someone like Ross...
"Now here we are living inside Visual Studio. The code editor is our joyous canvas.
I think we'll do a riff on happy little sorting algorithms today.
Dipping our mental brush in a little sky blue, we'll put in a glorious class definition and give our work a splash of hierarchy!
Remember now, in our world, we can do annnnnnnything we like!
Take your time, thrill in the process of total freedom!
God loves your editing canvas and He wants you to create!!
It's a good day."
Cheers,
Mike Fidler

None are old enough to be called classics; way too much color.
Now this[^] is classic!

The clear winner in any contest of this type is the theme from Mission:Impossible.
Second to that is Hawaii Five-O. The one from the original series (several versions to choose from) was way better than the one they play now, although the current one is more polished and professional.

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine1 went to a group including a Chinese scientist called Tu Youyou[^] for her discovery of artemisinin and its treatment of malaria. Well done! 
Now, her birthday is in two months time, so I think we might need to practice in order to sing her a "Happy Birthday".
Go on - try it now... 
1 Actually the "2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine[^]" if you want to be picky
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

As we have two months, it may be easier to learn it in Chinese...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Since it is A Chinese name, the question is, which one?
- Happy birthday to Youyou Tu you.
or - Happy birthday to Tu Youyou you.
Inquiring minds need to know.

Markdown does that. Disable it underneath the post.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

CP runs on a VB6 and Access back-end, didn't you know?
I hear hamsters don't have a concept of zero

Not everything in VB6 is 1-based...
You can actually define the boundaries of an array yourself. If you want to go crazy you can even start with negative values.
(I believe it's even possible to do that in .Net, but at least they made it pretty difficult to accomplish)

In older versions of Delphi it depends on what you are indexing whether or not arrays are zero or one based. Lots of fun in that.

I think we can get by simply with:
Happy birthday Tu You
...
Happy birthday to you Tu Youyou
|
|
|
|

I was going to comment that you were missing to in there until I reread it a few times. Reading the written sentence of her name and happy birthday has the same problem as multiple the in a sencentence. your brain kinda skips one.

Just a note, the "you" at the end shouldn't be there, it's like saying "Happy birthday to Bob Smith you"
