I have always been a fan of Emmerdale farms, the rolling hills of yorkshire etc. even the most recent HD ones have slowly grown on me
but now what I think I like the most is eastenders barely changed titles |

I know it wasnt popular but i lived the 1993 jazzy theme for eastenders. I wish it was used more often. It was a good mix from the deadpan drum beat.

![]() I can only say one thing tho, are you sure you were a young chld and not nearly an adult ![]() ![]() I was a young child and I remember never having seen anything like it before (my Mam and Dad watched the show)! Not sure when it was shown here - early '80's - or on what side for that matter? Does anyone know? |

Home and Away, 1996
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc1ZtFYGvg4 I liked the closing theme music of Neighbours, 1999 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyMTVSuEncI |

I've chosen my favourites...
Coronation Street 1975-1982 I love the shots of the back streets of Salford, ending with us on the Street. Emmerdale 2005-2011 Possibly the best title sequence around. It baffles me why they got rid of it, it's gorgeous. Showing off proudly the Yorkshire Dales, it fits with the orchestral theme beautifully, the crescendo at the end as we reach Emmerdale packs such a punch. EastEnders 1993 It was so different and has such a character. It could possibly have really shaped the show's direction had it not been pulled. However, the revamp after this one stayed true to it's roots and I'd list that as my other favourite. Hollyoaks 2010 The show took a long while to find a sequence that works, but they got it down perfectly a few years ago. The first version of the current titles feels so fresh, and gives the show an identity the others before it didn't. Let's not even talk about the 2007 children's theme. Neighbours 2010-2013 Such feel good titles introduced in 2010. I think possibly today's theme is better, but I don't think the images have been beaten yet. No marks to either for not having the original title design, though today's is a step in the right direction. Home and Away 2004-2006 Another feel good title sequence. Bright, happy and put you in right in the mood to watch Home and Away. It's a travesty this great theme never gets played anymore. Family Affairs The tune never sounded better, and the tour around London was such a different take than anything EastEnders had. It was, at the time, so up to date. Like the ITV shows I also loved how it ended on Stanley Street. Crossroads When a few bars of a signature tune is enough. It's a stroke of sheer genius. It's like a little welcome back every day. Brookside The most iconic version of the theme. I think Emmerdale's sweeping Yorkshire dales are my favourite overall. |

The Coronation Street titles of the 1976-89 period and the Emmerdale Farm ones from 1975-89. Both had a romance that I feel all subsequent changes have lacked.
