#13. Medical Drama Series (like Casualty in the UK)
#18. Kiddies Quiz Show
#31. It is the same music for the UK Sit Com Please Sir.

You're absolutely right about these three, Philip. :)

#13 is "Medisch Centrum West" (Medical Center West), a soap/drama series set at a fictitious hospital. It aired from 1988 to 1994.
#18 is "Ren Je Rot", a quiz show for 11/12 year old kids. Every episode had two schools competing. The quiz (where all questions were multiple choice) aired from 1973 to 1983. The German equivalent "Eins, Zwei oder Drei" is still on air.

#31 does have the same title music as "Please Sir!", but it's not the same program. It's not even a sitcom.

The limit has not been lifted yet. I'm (still) waiting for our friends from down under to arrive... :-\\

Yes, there is the occasional drama, but that's not what the program is about.




Here, let me throw in an extra hint for #3:
The program is scheduled to air once a week (Sunday evening 19:00 PM), but it can also air on weekdays (usu. Wednesday evening), depending on the season.

See...? This quiz isn't hard at all. ;)

#3 is "Studio Sport", a program that has been around since 1959 (although under a different name and with a different tune back then).
This tune has been used since the 1980s (with the exception of a few years in late 1990s/early2000s).

Here's one that was used in 1988

Another no.

I don't think there's much point in playing the quiz this way. It's gonna take forever, and I might as well reveal the answers  and give you all the bonus points beforehand (because you will get to the right answers eventually).

...it all seems that no one else is participating, if they were other, this thread could had been a madhouse?

I wish it was a madhouse. I wish more people would participate. But I don't think that's going to happen, so I might as well give up and reveal the answers.

BTW: you can still earn bonus points for naming a tune/artist (in this quiz and the other one about TV Themes). I mean: some shows/series have used existing songs for a theme, so if you recognize any...
