EastEnders: Fav theme so far??

Who would've thought that simple little verse would be so popularly versatile in coming years! Yes, I'm talking about EastEnders, and it's title music / theme, or whatever you want to call it!

So far, we've heard about 4 to 5 variants and rearrangements of it, and now we've all tasted what might be the theme of the future thanks to the Bianca and Ricky spin-off this week (which is the same week that Jazzy version theme launched 9 years ago - ok, shutting up!). So let's hear your votes! Your favourite Simon May renditions please...

Grrrr, the polls don't seem to be working again. Anyway, I love the jazzy theme, it's my favourite so far. Although I do like the current version which is used.

The original from 1985 - no contest. When the 1993 version was abandoned I was disappointed with the slight remix that continues to this day.

It somehow doesn't have the same atmosphere as the original.

So many good TV themes are disappearing now - look at what they've done to the Casualty theme tune - aargh !

Someone shoot those Casualty titles!

For me it has to be the original... The bells sound less synthetic.

Shame the barrel organ middle bit in the full theme never got an airing...

*will not start on how the current theme is edited - we could be here all night and it's only half 2!*

1985 theme no contest. 19 Feb 1985- 7th May 1993 RIP. Un fortunatly the full theme was axed from episodes of EE in 1991.

any mp3s?

Yes, here is the full 1985 version.

has anyone got the current theme in mp3?

I'd say my favourite out of those 4 is the Jazzy theme, but I actually prefer the special music 'Julia's Theme'

Yeah that Julia's theme is really good! I wish it was available with the theme tune mixed into it. It sounds weird on TV, but I like it nevertheless.

I have the full length "Julia's Theme" lying around somewhere...

When it was last used (after Sonia dumped Jamie) they played the (newer) Julia's Theme build-up in full and uninterrupted!

Anyone record that?
