[cityfolkferal]

I actually don't mind these credits! :)

[TheNewMrsStyles]

just shows u how old this TV show is... crappiest show in the world. PLEASE DONT SPAM THIS!!! ITS THE HONEST TRUTH!!

[ekmad]

@TheNewMrsStyles lolwut

[SirWillig]

@TheNewMrsStyles so so true

[KieranD212]

i fucking knew it! the water did used to be green in the title sequence, they changed it to blue when they updated the titles about 2009 or 08 cant remember

[pluto1111777]

@KieranD212 it did indeed lol, it was blue originally (1985-93) then this colour from 93 til 99, then they updated it again to include the millenium dome, to that rather ludgy colour. Now theyve gone back to blue in late 2009 :).

[KieranD212]

@pluto1111777 i thought i was just seeing stuff but its nice to know someone else noticed it too

[MrLW25]

That theme's so weird compared to the one I'm used to, it made me laugh

[rubberball2011]

nice video, watch mine, i mixed the 1990 theme with the current theme 2009 one.

please rate and comment.

[gavinpow77]

It actually sounds nice. But it's not EastEnders. I always think of it as a great arrangement of the theme music, but it was wrong to even think it would work as the EE main theme!

[MrKashmire123]

Absolutely Minging!

[annamazing8798]

the water looks black like in the simpsons movie !!

But Seriously.....Eww.

[medicpack6]

why did they start it at a diffrent angel on this one and the 1994 one

[jane1975]

I thought that was such an awful version, never mess with a classic.

[ganstakja]

did they do this jazzy theme allway throught 1993 or 1 episode, im only 13 you see, so i wouldnt remember ? :)

[garethparr]

@ganstakja

It ran for 11 months, from (I think) May 1993 to April 1994. It was created by the original composer, Simon May, on request of the BBC. The two subsequent versions have also been done by May.

[musicman1995bd]

the thames looks a little un-healthy in this opening sequence! lol

[superxysiu]

A ja tam lubie EestEnders ;D Poland likes You xo xo xo :*

[peachysoph]

i dont like that one¬¬

[medicpack6]

they need to bring this thee back

[Leediverify]

i always thought this sounded more like crossroads than eastenders

[tosspot86]

with the sax it sounds too much like this morning it just doesnt sound like the right opening for a soap

[rjconnolly64]

Is there a HQ version?

[BubbaLee2]

my girly loves this show

[AJRNews]

Yuck, I had forgotten that they mangled the theme like that!

[AJRNews]

Yuck - I had forgotten that they had mangled the theme like this!

[AAliixBaabbiee]

Well good

[hannahhazlehurst]

awesome

[ElectrexOnline]

sounds like the opening to a German porn film lol

[Zerofly123]

hahaha, soo truue! not that i would no ofcourse :)

[Zerofly123]

@ElectrexOnline

[Zerofly123]

hahaha, soo truue! not that i would no ofcourse :)

[JazzyLour1]

i like this one :L:L

[1ArsenalJack7]

I love EastEnders and prefer this opening to the 1 now but it's still good though, I got the 1992-1994 Arsenal Home Shirt recently and I love retro things from the 90s the best decade ever! EastEnders is great though! :)

[aidanleddy]

jesus i was only born in 1993!

[deanjisaac]

sounds like the music they would have in a diy store.

[OhWhenTheSaints]

LOL I see what you mean

[pufferfishish]

Looking back, it seems so bizarre that they ever did this.

[CRASHICTH]

25 years eastenders!!!!! happy 25th, but i've been around for 15 years of it

[PCJoejoe]

cool, I Had no idea until the live episode that i worked out I was 10months old when Eastenders first aired. my mum has watched it since it first aired

[CRASHICTH]

i see im younger than you then

[arrisfilms]

Gettin' it on in albert squre!

[Hvr200]

Reminds me of the GMTV and This morning themes.

[Markjuk]

May 1993 what memories! I can remember this theme tune coming into play just before Pete Beale (senior) left the show.

[JBOwl4life]

I like the tune,

But I don't think it's one I'd have as the theme tune of Eastenders.

[thespirituk]

This was one of the worst changes ever made. I don't mind things altering for the better but this was just dire. It sounded like a cheap day time soap theme when they only have a budget of 50p for the entire project. Absolutely awful.

[Ash1982]

yeah. agreed.

[NatGrays]

Sounded wayyyy too American. Glad they ditched it!.

[ClemenzaKimble]

I only saw heard this on one episode, then not long after, it was back to normal again. I assumed there must've been complaints about it, because I thought it sounded shit aswell.

[pluto1111777]

i never liked this map either and i realised it was because, if you look, its actually what became the widescreen map (more river seen on each end) on the non-widescreen ratio lol then they changed the map and put it back to how it was then when widescreen came along it went back to this except it wasnt so small looking with the top and bottom parts cropped! lol

[Travellinghobo2]

It sounds so nineties

[lukedangerfallon]

sounds more 80's

[scoty123123]

it looks wierd without the milenium dome

[TheloniousFunk1]

I remember this. They briefly cast Barry White as Grant Mitchell, but it didn't work out.

[PhantomBolt]

@TheloniousFunk1 LOL

[keiracounsell]

they really should have kept that theme, it sounds so much better than th classic theme

[Penguindog55]

Yes but if it would have been better if they actually reverted back to the original rather than make a replicate but the current replicate is closer to the original.

[cakesfairy]

if this was the origanal music people would like it. people dont like change so they hated it!

[gotchjames45]

bad porn music

[natsannho]

WORST EVER!

[roryccool]

Nice!

[evertchris]

By modernising it they actually date it even more.

[Music1222]

@evertchris They really don't - this sounds so old, even about it is old, from the map to the quality.

[EnteranceVideos]

cant beat a good old vhs' tracking system

[coolmikeyv]

WOW!

[nuttynic1986]

OMG i remember this theme tune. I must have been about 7. They only used it for about a year didn't they then it reverted back to a similar version pre-Jazzy theme. LOL.

[Penguindog55]

They then did a replica of the original version after the Jazzy attempt, the real original theme tune is better but I like the way this jazzy sounds like a Roland midi music production.

[CAFC2K8]

5/9/99 was the first time the dome & City Airport were used ;)

[Yangedd]

The Credits were slightly updated in 2000 to add the dome :-)

[MAD4DS]

@Yangedd 1999 ;)

[adampaterson2000]

@Yangedd u mean the O2

[JamesLiveProductions]

Ha! No millenium dome or London City Airport!
