TV's greatest scores - ever

As other discussions on this site testify; Patrick Gowers' scores for the two Sherlock Holmes Series are quite magnificent.

I want to argue that they are the greatest ever scores composed for television.

This is a bold claim; but I cannot think of any composer who paid such attention to the script and to the characterisation within the stories themselves. Gowers uses motifs to introduce and identify individual characters; he also endlessly, and flawlessly, adapts the haunting principle theme turning it into, for instance, a near perfect pastiche of a Tudor penitential anthem (in The Priory School) or making it the subject of a late Bach-style fugue at the end of another episode where Moriarty contemplates the destruction of Holmes across the street. In the latter example he illustrates the brilliance of Moriarty's intellect and its thoroughness of planning. He can do Brahms and Elgar. His music always drives and supports the plot perfectly.

On top of all this, each episode is unique; the atmosphere and tonality rarely, if ever, repeated.

Name me another composer who lavished such care on a TV series and to such great effect. This is composition in the league of Bernard Hermann, but on a greater scale.
