I kind of like it, but it does smack of some committee at the BBC thinking "we need to modernise it for the 1990s, throw in a hip-hop beat and a saxophone lick".
I first heard it in my mind when Queen Elizabeth died, i imagined if it was Eastenders as Woody.EXE hugged me after the Queens passing with the final shot of us 2 crying when it zoomed out from my bedroom window to the rainbow saying Queen Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022. That would’ve broke the Eastenders fans down if it ever happened to our screens. It makes me cry thinking about it again
The new 2009 one with the guitar or base one is my favourite it is very smooth ngl I like the ones from 1994 - 2009 and the original but I prefer the current one
@@toonsterztrolldroadto3002 read a book. This is how the brain works. We're a lot more likely to remember smells and sounds (including music) than we are visual things, believe it or not. A smell will bring back stronger memories than a photo
Everyone hated it. The outcry was huge. I was only a small child but I remember it. You'd think they'd permanently changed the Queens wardrobe to tracksuits the way people kicked off. Have to admit, it does suck. More El Dorado than Eastenders.
Isn't it about time they changed the current intro? Apart from the slight tweak from 1st Jan 2012 to include the Olympic park, they've been using that same current intro since 7th Sept 2009. 13 years at the time I sent this comment. The previous intro was only used for a whole 10 years from 5th Sept 1999 to 4th Sept 2009 (give or take a day less). But then, Corrie and Emmerdale have also been using their current intros for over a decade too. Though a couple shots in Corrie's current intro were replaced at some point.
I was really hooked on it and then in typically lame PBS fashion they dumped it even though it was doing well and they'd been shamelessly fundraising off its fans.
@@Georgi1 no need to say sorry! I understand. When I was younger I thought the same but since it 1985, you might expect most things being factories. The fact it is too Modern as well
Anyone else come here trying to understand Real Civil Engineer’s sense of humour
Lmaoo, now this looks like the parody
Timberborners!!!!
Also in the second intro did anyone else notice the river was in a very strong shape, the strongest on fact.
Parodies from eastenders is good
Yup
Yep. Now that tune is permanently embedded into by brain.
The second one is like that weird relative no-one ever talks about
I actually like the 2nd one, definetly prefer the original but it's still good
I kind of like it, but it does smack of some committee at the BBC thinking "we need to modernise it for the 1990s, throw in a hip-hop beat and a saxophone lick".
I love it tbh.
@@haroldboi7even though i don't watch soaps the 2nd one isn't that bad
It’s like a timeline of the Docklands from 1985 till now. You can see the difference. Back in 1985, the O2 stadium was a huge factory!
literally
And Canary Wharf Was Just A Docking Spot For boats untill 1987.
@@Bobbyandmognow you can’t film on (private)wharf property ie the whole estate or they call the city of (private) London police on you 🤭
@@Bobbyandmoghow times change 😅
@@charlieminaj2 Wait what
You cant film inside canary wharf?!
Didn't really watch the show, but the soundtrack is so catchy and imprints itself onto my mind.
Lmaoo, now this looks like the parody
Agreed

❤ Greetings from coastal Mississippi. Love EastEnders
Try Corrie aswell
I only watched Eastenders for Lola and Whitney but now I don’t anymore because they’ve left
@@nicolelawless9942 🤠🐻👋🌎
@@ScottRandolph-dd7dr
I’m hoping Linda and Sharon don’t leave because I’m loving them
Not even gonna lie it's a banger
this opening has been burned into my brain, my mum watched this a lot
I only watch to hear Julia’s theme especially when Queen Elizabeth died, I’ve heard it in my head ever since
the first one is super trippy
The new 2009 one with the guitar or base one is my favourite it is very smooth ngl I like the ones from 1994 - 2009 and the original but I prefer the current one
This brings back memories
No it doesnt

@@toonsterztrolldroadto3002 what are you on about- EastEnders has been around from more than 30 years of course it's nostalgic?

oh my goodness this good old intro every sunday we would watch this programme
Fun fact - the original titles were designed by the same guy who designed the BBC two ident from 1986-1991
so many memories
That 36 year tune
Me watching 3 minutes of british tv intros just to understand RCE's ridiculous intros...
Hahaha yeah
The second intro is my favourite, they should bring that one back
But in hd

I agree
Ok i finally understand RCE timborners intro means

First clip is shipped surprisingly.
That show aired on PBS!

was the second intro a real one ( I watched ee from 1988 ---2000 & don't remember that odd remix like tune )
Welcome back to timberrrrborners
Emmerdale started in the 70s,as on Yorkshire television
I remember when my nan would always watch this
I’d only watch Eastenders for Witney and Lola
Second one is neat
That circle thing not being in the others was a shock, I thought that circle thing would’ve been in it from the start
You mean the Greenwich O2? Right?
@@ELTransport1 yea sorry, I’m not from England so I don’t know what it is
@@Georgi1 no need to say sorry! I understand. When I was younger I thought the same but since it 1985, you might expect most things being factories. The fact it is too Modern as well
@@ELTransport1 yea thank you 😊
It was originally the Millennium dome, built in 1999. It later became the 02 Arena.
I don't care what anyone says about this OP.
It's the Greatest Anime OP of all time.
If you’re going to cut off the end of each one, why bother?

third one jazzy asf
Is the second one even real?
Yes
0:24 AAAGH! The hated SAXOPHONE version! I'm sure everyone hates this, and you're a FOOL if you DON'T hate it!
I like it most
It’s brilliant
I perfer the 1993 theme it's more uplifting
It's my favourite intro the tunes are brilliant
You’re not a fool if you don’t hate it. Please don’t say that.
Is that 2nd one even real
Yes it was but fans hated it so they changed it back to the original Julia’s theme
@@nicolelawless9942 ok
Pretty catchy theme song for the most horrible place on Earth.
looks so cheap nothing like the Bold and the Beautiful
