For the first time in 10 years, EastEnders has received an update to its classic title sequence.

The update revamp includes satellite photography along with 3D mapping, with a nice touch coming in the form of cloud cover.

Executive producer Diederick Santer said "it struck me that the style of the map image, as well as the content, was a little out of date", apparently citing the popularity of Google Earth as one of the reasons for this.

The music has also had a tweak, but fans of the original soundtrack need not fear as it still remains pretty much the same.

First showing of the new titles is due on 7 September at 8pm.
