It doesn't seem possible! Corrie is probably the most recognizable tv theme tune ever. Ok, maybe Doctor Who as well but Corrie's the grand old lady!
ReplyDeleteMuch as I hate EastEnders, it has got a certain drama to its theme, maybe it's time for a Corrie revamp?
ReplyDeleteCorries tune is WONDERFUL..it illicits the feeling of the Street.
ReplyDeleteEastEnders is catchy, but, in my opinion, no more so than Corries.
Leave well enough alone!
It is very evocative, but I have to agree that EastEnders' theme tune has much more "oomph"...
ReplyDeleteI think the public reaction to fiddling with the theme would be the same as what happened in 1993 when they altered the EastEnders theme...people had a fit, and it was changed back with slight updating.
ReplyDeleteEastenders and Brookside had a dramatic theme tune, compared to Corrie, Emmerdale and Crossroads. Grandstand is the best theme tune though
ReplyDeletethe theme to Crossroads was quite nice..had a quality to it.
ReplyDeleteEastEnders is dramatic and brash just like the programme.
i quite liked Pot Black - was that what it was called? the snooker one.
