ive been thinking the same thing actually. It might be interesting to see some new credits. But hasnt the map sequence sort of been in the credits from the start. It mite be strange seeing something else.
Still, it would be interesting. Maybe a sweep of Albert Square, like corrie does with the cobbels and Emmerdale does with the village

Why? The BBC just cut the credits in half anyway to advertise the next show!

Thats right i think i remember watching an old episode on one of UKTV Gold's Eastenders christmas marathons or sumthing and it was quite an old one, (Lou Beale was still alive so..) and the titles were blue.

You can't change the titles. The theme tune and titles are as much a part of EastEnders as The Queen Vic.

It's iconic. Can't change it after 22 years! It's instantly recognisable!

i think the bbc should try it like they did when they changed the tune and if people don't like it put the old one back |

I agree with Shamelessness's sentiments. The titles and music should never change now.
Both are instantly recognisable, and a big part of british television. |

EastEnders has always been the map, it's NEVER been anything else, so I can't see them changing it. Corrie is just images of the Street. |

)The titles have been changed, you're right, but it's not the same. If EastEnders had shots of the Square then I'd agree they need updating every now and again, but they don't. The EastEnders titles are simple and don't require any updating at all (except for big things like the dome to be added on to the map) |
