Emmerdale
A Yorkshire Dales farming serial that dropped Farm from its name in 1989 and kept the landscape.
Emmerdale rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 27 and 49, running between 28 and 30 seconds.
At 30 seconds at its longest, it opens well under the 50-second median for drama sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on ITV in 1972, when The Sooty Show, The Big Match and Rainbow were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Emmerdale did so once.
