The version that Dan supplied sounds very old, whereas last night on EastEnders it sounded rather 'up-to-date'. Is there a copy of the more up-to-date one floating around somewhere? Or does anyone have it?

Sounds old cos that mp3 I made is from the 1985 record release of it, if I find a better version I'll post it.
And it's definately called Julia's Theme, there's no other name associated with it?

Yep. If you want to be blunt - you can call it the slow theme, the special theme or the twiddly-piano-bit-before-the-credits-theme, but its proper name was Julia's Theme, named after the late Julia Smith, creator of the soap.
I like the music they play before the end EastEnders credits are shown. Kinda gives it that finishing touch to nation gripped by a big storyline. If only EastEnders used music in their episodes a bit more, it would make a tiny improvement.

That sort of music hardly gives suspense though - are you saying they should use less of the doofs!?
I'm glad British soaps (except Night and Day, but that's pants anyway) have largly kept away from incidental music and Fantasy scenes, as I hate them. I like the more realistic feel of soaps and don't want music to tell me how to feel, and I don't want to see/hear thoughts/dreams/flashbacks as they seem dodogy.
