Were the piano themes used on Virgin Media One(TV3) in Ireland? I’m interested to know this as the John Lewis deal would have nothing to do with them.

The Emmerdale rearrangment worked. Corrie's didnt and sounded awful.


I haven't seen either yet, however piano was quite prominent in the original Emmerdale Farm theme so not surprising that worked.



It was actually the original "Emmerdale" theme that featured the piano:



The original "Emmerdale Farm" theme featured an oboe:

The oboe is playing the melody but there is quite a bit of piano in the mix.

John Lewis do have a small section in the Arnotts store in Dublin so it might still be broadcast on TV3 aka VM1

They’re surely not going to pay for national adverting for a small department in one Dublin department store?

The answer is yes, incidentally. Or at least they are on the versions of Emmerdale and This Morning on the Virgin Media Player.

Did anyone capture the Emmerdale and Corrie themes at all please?


They're here (not uploaded by me)...





Here's what I think is a much better piano arrangement of the Emmerdale theme, which they used when Seth died in 2005...



And, while we're on the subject, who hasn't wondered at one time or another what the Emmerdale theme would sound like with Swedish lyrics? Well, wonder no more.

The repeat on VM2 has the normal version but the subtitles say it is the piano version .

It’s an omnibus of the two episodes? They probably re-edited it with the normal titles.

Ireland isn't as big as the UK so it won't be as much cost I would imagine.

It might not be a case of paying; Virgin Media TV have access to the ITV network feed and if they were taking a show live off it with the replaced theme they would also get it - This Morning for example.
