I really do hate Neighbours current credits, they are absolutely awful! They really need to go back the the 2003 ones!!

My favourite current credits, The Bold and the Beautiful. They are so stylish

I quite liked the 1993 EE theme tune (even if most people didn't). I prefer it to the original theme.

The best Neighbours themetune was the jazzed up version around the early-mid 90s. That along with the colourful titles were excellent. The current theme is AWFUL, it sounds so lame.

My favourite current titles are the Family Affairs ones, and of all time...no idea, but in terms of filming, I loved the pre-1998 Emmerdale titles, they were much better than the current ones (however the current ones are a BIG improvement on the last titles ), where a lot more thought had gone into them - for example that shot of the lambs where they jumped was so good and well-timed.

But the current E/Dale themetune is way better than the earlier piano one imo..

I liked the original EE theme without the duffs (having seen some old footage). It somehow seemed to flow better without them.

My favourite has to be the full length Corrie credits which played the music for far longer than it does now. It also had the camera shot looking at the rooftop down a single row of terrace houses. This ending always felt more satisfying than the current bland ones.

I liked the 2nd sunset beach theme, it was quite a catchy little number hehe! i prefer credits where you can see the cast rather then emmerdale's boring fields, and eastenders dodgy map, and corrie's stunning rooftops! lol. also, i thought tha Days of our Lives opening title was quite funny 'Like sands through the hour glass,so are the days of our lives' with that cheesy american accent,and then the totally outdated short theme tune that played after it! i too liked the home and away theme when it was travis/shannon/selina/joey/casey/rebecca/justine/aaron etc

Really? Or are you talking about the jazzy 1993 one?

No, I'm talking about the original 80s/early 90s one.

I hate it lol!! I am actually too young to remember it but i saw an old EE episode once and it was awful!! i like the current Neighbours theme tune and i'm glad they've finally updated the opening titles because it's so annoying when it's all wrong. I mean when it had Susan and Karl kissing in it and in the actual episode they'd be ripping chunks out of each other and i'm sure it was still like that in the episode they got divorced!!

The only time the EE them tune never had the duff duff at the end was the year 1985 they came in 1986

However, the duffs were never used at the beginning until after the Jazzy tune was banished.
