Any others?

No.. At least, off the top of my head, I can't think of any tv
programmes where the title makes no obvious (or subtle)
sense.

Tales of the Unexpected?

Kieran

Big Train?

Smack the Pony? I know it's probably some sort of wanking reference
but, still...

The League of Gentlemen?

Named after a 1950s film:

Regarding 'Smack the Pony' - I remember reading an interview with one of the
cast where she said that in fact it meant absolutely nothing, but they hoped
that people would think it was rude! (especially as it seemed similar to
'spanking the monkey' I guess).
