Probably not the worst, but pretty bad, The Krypton Factor from 1984-5. Electronic music so ponderous you wonder whether it's got the impetus to reach the end of the VT reel. If it does, it will at least get there before the animation.
No wonder they got The Art Of Noise in afterwards.
The contestants look all right though. "Freelance photographic model aged 43" ticks a couple of boxes for me.

Californication. Excellent series, but the credits are straight out of a bad early-90s sitcom.

Great show, but I always found the Phoenix Nights theme music incredibly annoying.

Ah, but the music from "Rugby Special" is great. It's completely inappropriate.

Ah now, we're talking. Amazing theme, which crops up in the Sweeney in the episode where George Layton and Patrick Mower play Australian armed robbers. Like a theme in opera, this tune comes on when Mower and Layton are on. Actually, I've no idea if this is true of opera.
Rugby Special's cheapness extended to the show itself where Nigel Starmer-Smith seemed to be in a broom cupboard.

It's true of Wagner.

It's also true, pretty much, of Gold-era Dr Who.

People say "Wagnerian opera" as though it's different to the rest, don't they?

The credits to QI are jaw-droppingly awful. They're so bad that there's only 2 explanations:
a) They had 26p left to make them.
B) They're a provocation, a way of getting rid from the audience all the people who might be guided by the quality or otherwise of the credits.

They're a Saul Bass masterwork compared with the 37 seconds of giggle-inducement that is....

The strain to produce a title sequence that suggests glitzy, provocative viewing on such low-budget efforts is almost to be pitied.

There's something about 70/80's shows like this...

...whose intrinsic crappiness was so dreadful then, they become even worse in retrospect and that goes for their opening titles. The above from 3-2-1 demands police action on that basis alone.

Thank you thank you for the Triangle heads up. I've become totally immersed in episode 1 just now.
