 At times, a cliffhanger involving the death of a major character or a disaster was marked by the traditional closing theme being replaced by the final dramatic section of "Barwick Green" involving trombones, cymbals and the closing bars of the signature tune – known as the "doom music" to some fan groups.This tradition has been dropped more recently, with events such as the death of Nigel Pargetter being followed by the normal closing music despite the gravity of the incident.This has irritated some followers, who consider the jollity of the normal segment inappropriate in such circumstances.
