Remember hearing it at the time as a 7 year old. What I've always loved is the contrast between the start of the show and end of the showw version of the theme tune. It's almost like the start version is all about urgency, and the end version is about resignation. Genius composing.

This theme tune must've lasted a while as I was watching this as a kid in the mid 1990s and remember this theme tune. Interesting that the opening theme tune is faster than the ending. The beginning has the sound of urgency, an ambulance rushing to the hospital. The end tune is slower, lacks the urgency and sounds much sadder, possibly the slow journey to the hospital morgue...

You really need the associated title sequence images to do it justice. The entire tone of the music and dark image themes especially on the closing titles really set the chilling scary tone of that decade. One revamp that was also great was on the closing theme around 1997 but was short lived:- kzitem.info/news/bejne/mW2cv4qkfn-do2k

@Jasey2007 - I think what he means is that the focus is now far more on medical students than what it used to be on - the older episodes spent more time with the paramedics. Back when the series were shorter, they had more money to spend per individual episode, and so you saw more accidents taking place. Casualty does seem to be ER-ing it up a bit though - not quite as bad as Holby, but still tending to attract eye-candy for medical staff.
