It's not the wimpy Stereophonics version on the programme, I think it's
a cover of D'Abo's song done by Big George, renowned BBC theme tune
writer (he did "have I got news for you" among others). The
Stereophonics covered it after it was used on the show I think. Looking
forward to Coldplay doing a version of the Eastenders theme.
