sindikatas Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Most TV shows don't bother with opening titles anymore. It's not just H&A. It just seems to be the done thing in TV these days. It depends on a country actually. In Lithuania every tv show has it's opening titles. I believe Russian shows have those too.

beau_t Posted November 23, 2013 Report Posted November 23, 2013 Aussie TV has copied American TV which in the past 10 years has phased out opening credits on most shows. Best you get is a title screen with an extremely short piece of "music"... more often just sound effects. Quote

ABC and SBS still have opening credits for some of there shows. Quote
aussiesoapfan Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 Neighbours still manages to have opening credits. They even launched a search in the UK and Australia to find a singer for the new theme. It's a pity Home and Away couldn't do the same thing. I'd be surprised if a longer opening came back. I also agree that the recaps can be a bit too long sometimes. Let's see what next year brings for the opening and the show Quote
Pierced Musie Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 ^I find the Neighbours opening credits so cringeworthy . 1 1 Quote
Light of the Bay Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah, but at least they bother to have them and listen to the fans. They are very cheesy it has to be said. Quote
MACYLIGHTFOOT Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 The fact that maybe a whole generation of fans will grow up not knowing the words to the song makes me sad Quote
aussiesoapfan Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Has anyone seen the video of uk radio presenter Nick Grimshaw on youtube. He has filmed a cameo in some British soaps as well as Home and Away. He is seen in a cameo in London with Brax, Heath and Bianca. At the beginning and end of the clip there are updated versions of the current opening style. If this is what they are using for next year I doubt there'll be proper opening titles. Hope they update uk end credits. Edited November 29, 2013 by aussiesoapfan 1 Quote
Light of the Bay Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 God, Nick Grimshaw is everywhere isn't he! I see Brax is strutting around like he owns the place. Quote
