I notice that they've remixed the theme music AGAIN for this season. The new version sounds a bit dull and IMO if they wanted to ditch the Christian Henson remix they should just have gone back to the original version.
There's also a new opening sequence - the animated graphics have gone, replaced with a sequence of snooker table, balls, triangle and cue being forged out of steel. There are also some in-programme graphics around the same theme - there's a rather gimmicky thing involving a steel cube framework with different numbers and sizes of panels on each side for player profiles, which is just irritating and hopefully will be dropped before long, and some brief stings for introducing interviews and previews, the best one of which is an apparently red-hot steel ball rolling across the steel table toward the camera (and the pocket).
