I own nothing. Emmerdale is the property of ITV, this is for entertainment uses only.

98- 05 and 05- 2011 just hit different! Major nostalgia vibes ❤

[@jonathanmuranganwa4909]

My favourite Emmerdale era during those years

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

❤ Greetings from coastal Mississippi. Love Emmerdale

[@tonypap1]

No chance. The original is by far the best. It’s beautiful and eery at the same time which is what makes it so alluring and enduring.

[@ashleybuckley5594]

Love the power of the 1994-98 theme! My favourite bit of that is how the first "do di da do" in sync with the horse riders! Followed by the land rover driving through a puddle! The 1998-2005 and 2005-11 is what I grew up with watching Emmerdale with my parents before going to bed! 98-05 being the better one of the two thanks to the real power of the theme tune and the little snippets of village residents as it pans over the Yorkshire dales and finishes in the village of Emmerdale! The 2011-present theme is good as well!

This is not what I expected to be watching when I woke up this morning.

Well, thank you for tuning in either way.

[@davidjeffreys9063]

You can't beat the old original theme from the 1970s. Good old days. Just how our country should have been kept

[@TheTitanicTardis]

i Agree With with You're Ranks The December 1998-September 2005 and September 2005-May 2011 Are The Best intros in My Opinion

[@JAWS-qj1rj]

No they're tasteless and cheap in comparison to the talent put into the origionals. This list is diabolical.

[@ayroxus94]

I agree the 00's orchestral version was the best, but I prefer the titles used in the 2005-2011. It was like being whisked away from wherever you're from across the country into the Yorkshire Dales and into Emmerdale. The one before it with the square clips of random actors slapping each other and cheering was a bit random. The ones before that were showing hang gliding and rock-climbing. I don't ever remember those things being prominent in Emmerdale. To me, the 2005-2011 were the best fit.

[@BLTKellys]

It wasn’t random. It represented the human emotions. So much more creative than a boring flight over the country.

[@ayroxus94]

@@BLTKellys It was random 'actors'. If they had shown characters from the show I could understand it, but it was just clips of non-descript people arguing and cheering.

[@elliotstarchannel2023]

2:57 Is my fav intro I didn’t watch excatly in 1994-1998 but I did watch it at 7am on itv3 in 2020s

[@97channel]

Oooh, no! The sun bleached 1980's titles were infinitely better than any of the others by miles.

[@michaelbond4550]

Agreed huge time.

[@davidjeffreys9063]

Yes, the sunset one is the best

[@PaulCrew_Official]

I can't listen to the original theme music without a year in my eye. I was 4 years old and used to sit in front of the fire with my mum in my pre school years. Days that have long gone. My mum is 83 tomorrow.

[@Nathaniel2256Studios]

IMO: 1. 1992-1993 2. 1994-1998 3. 1998-2005 4. 1989-1992 5. 1974-1975 6. 2005-2011 7. 1993-1994 8. 1972-1974 9. 2011-present 10. 1975-1989

I always wanted to know who those actors were in the 90's opening.

Great! Watching now on ITV3 were on the best theme tune now, and the best drama. Marlon's missing knlfe / Donna some great episodes

Not my choice for number 1 spot. I mean who were those people in the titles?

[@KarlTheKarl1]

Ummm... should I be here or is this a bad time?! 🤨

[@jakecavendish3470]

It was originally going to be called _The Turnip Eaters_

[@AmiDonnelly]

Tbh the 1998-2005 intro was the best

[@ayrshireman94]

Nice one mate! Have you made one with Corrie intros?

[@asterickjones]

I'd probably agree than the epic orchestral music with the floyver of Yorkshire countryside and the village is probably the best, I still find the music of the 2011 onwards theme good, ithe video in the new titles show it's gone even further from farming and rural life of course in the pictures of classy interiors shown in it of course!, as music it's an even more hard hitting orchestral theme in some ways.

[@LittleRichard1988]

I think all the versions have their place, I'm just about old enough to remember when it changed from the original piano and oboe arrangement to the 1992-1998 midi version done with either a Roland U-20 or U-220 but I think back in the 90s they also did reruns of classic Emmerdale Farm episodes. Both orchestral versions are good and fit the era in which they are used perfectly, even though the 1998 orchestral version is higher quality the modern version fits the more modern times better despite the strings sounding thin but it still fits in better with the last decade going into 2023 and however longer it's used for until if and when they decide to redo it again. I stopped watching it on TV back in 2018 but I still watch clips of it on KZbin. The 1998 orchestral version was also used on 1992-1997 reruns around 2000.

[@anonymoustipster202]

My favourite is the new version. Mostly because of the awesome rendition of the theme.

[@SuperstarGNPz]

How is the new Emmerdale intro the worst? I like it

[@VHSandVinylCollector]

We seem to like the same shows. Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Thomas

[@Wesumatex2020]

Have too say 1980s titles where kinda cute with the Calf feeding from it's mother cow and I like the theme going with the sun set but the show wasn't as dramatic as it is today. But my all time favourite theme is 1998 too 2011 but my favourite intro scene has too be 1998 too 2005. Especially the longer ending credits in 1999 of the 1998 theme and exit outro scene from 1998

[@Sicilian49]

#4 is the best intro I reckon, watched and heard it in New Zealand Television.

[@WelshDude1984]

I prefer 'The Six Million Dollar Man,' version.

[@tonygold1239]

How can you put the current intro at the bottom it's awesome and deserves to be in the top 3

The best one was the worst in my opinion as we did not know any of those people! They were not characters in the show.

[@RobTheGreenEngine]

I admit that is random but I think it represents Emmerdale as an ensemble show. Having unnamed actors is a good way to avoid the problem Hollyoaks has with their intro.

98-05 is the worst. Who are the random people in black and white? They're not even on the programme. I prefer the mid-90s intro. The jumping lambs can't be bested.

#2 was better than #1. I never liked those ugly people blocking the beautiful scenery.
