1974 episodesof Emmerdale Farm used these opening titles

Thanks for having mine as a video response. Much appreciated.

that is my favourite opening titles for emmerdale farm and i like the wrong music in the second take

Such a different show back then- how things change!

when were these opening titles from

I don't know exactly but I would guess around 1976 or 1977 because I first used the sequences in film music teaching in Sweden in 1979 and because Swedish TV usually bought episodes produced about a year ealier. Obviously, the end credits in the clip were NOT produced by Yorkshire TV: they are a hotchpotch I stuck together myself in sync with the longer version of the theme tune.
