The BBC has collaborated with Ravensbourne University in creating an online library of programme opening (and some closing) titles. Ideal for lockdown, but frustrating if you want the content, of course.
Some early discoveries: Tom Jones in the opening titles of The Beat Room in 1964 - way before the launch 'hit' of It's Not Unusual in 1964. Panorama, from 1962. And The Flowerpot Men from 1952; music clearly by Britten and graphics clearly by Dali for Hitchcock (cf Spellbound)?
