Will Friday's episode break the hearts of millions in the country with the iconic tune?

Well according to the credit lists for Thursday and Friday they don't end with the brannings

The Carters and the Ronnie get the doof doofs for the rest of the week. Obviously Stan is more deserving of a theme than Jim?

surprise, surprise

The (un)expected hits you between the eyes!

Jim should have got a full episode dedicated. Stan's funeral could have waited a little longer, and have a full episode with Dot and all her family and friends round her.

Also Dot shouldn't be in prison, seeing her in handcuffs is just wrong!

A Carter duff duff. Like we haven't had 50 of them so far this year. At least Ronnie's last one was 1st Jan!

they will give him Shirleys theme.

Didn't Jim get one when he actually left the series in 2011?

There was a Julia's theme, but that was for Dot, not Jim.

You're right. We might as well let all the murderers in the UK out of their cells.

I mean they should never have had Dot do what she did in the first place!

Noway
I'm shocked If it isn't about him
Maybe it's a montage?

could it be that the bardon family didnt want it.

Didn't want him to get a decent send off and final scene?
