1994 was EastEnders' tenth year of production. Leonard Lewis continuing his role as executive producer until Barbara Emile took over. Lewis quit the role after the BBC controllers demanded an extra episode a week. EastEnders aired 142 episodes in 1994, with the typical week comprising two half-hour episodes on BBC1, in a time slot of 7.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 11 April 1994 saw an additional episode shown on Mondays in an 8pm time slot. From that episode the theme tune changed again, after the 'Jazzy Theme' proved unpopular with the public, with the titles remaining the same.
