Howard's Way (Always There) - Marti Webb reached number 13 in 1986 with the lyrical version of the theme tune composed by Simon May and performed by his orchestra for the series.

Eastenders (Anyone Can Fall in Love) - Anita Dobson, No.4 in '86 with lyrical version of Simon May etc.

Don't know about theme tune but "Iwas born with a smile on my face" certainly featured in Neighbours and was a massive early hit for Kylie Minogue

TOTP (The Wizard) - Paul Hardcastle's '86 No.15 used as theme.
TOTP (Yellow Pearl) - Phil Lynott '81

Probably cull others from TOTP such as "Whole Lotta Love" (CCS, Led Zep and Goldbug).

There was a dire show in the late 60's, The Champions. I think its theme tune made it into the top 20
