ITV closing credits
only just noticed this, but how long have the ITV soaps (Corrie and ED) had those generic closing credits??
it used to be nice to see the village or images of the street as the credits roll. |

They've always had the same style across the board.
From those garish green/blue backdrops, to the slideshow of images, now to the black screen. |

I used to like it when it scrolled up the screen with the weatherfield rooftops and chimneys as a background. Those were the days...

I remember feeling a bit shortchanged as a Corrie fan when they introduced the generic credits - must be about ten years ago, right? I always wondered why Emmerdale got the overhead village helicopter shot behind their credits but we didn't even get cobbles or anything, just the generic blue background!
![]() I want the rooftop scrolling credits back. NOW.

![]() The only "generic" ITV credits I liked (ones that they used across all ITV shows) was the one with the wavy line and smoke in the background, because there were still images relative to the show on the other side of the screen. I can't find one for Corrie but here's a different one http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...tWavwwI#t=1275 They also used it on Bad Girls, The BIll (I think), Crossroads, and I think Emmerdale had a green one for a very short time before they went back to their own version. But yes the rooftop Corrie closing credits was iconic. |

Beats the STV closing credits where they cram the credits into the smallest box imaginable and advertise and shout over the top of them!

Something to do with Emmerdale negotiating a special deal with ITV or something. t was in Inside Soap yeeeears ago, I can't remember the details but there was a reason for it.
