1993 was EastEnders' ninth year of production. Leonard Lewis continued his role as executive producer. In May, the titles changed for the first time and a brand new theme tune was introduced to give the programme a more modern feel. The theme tune is referred to as the "Jazzy Theme" for its saxophone beats.
