On a side note, the first edition of the Michael Aspel era has just been uploaded...

It's weird how he introduces the contestants as "all students" yet the only "student" appears at the beginning!

I never saw the Aspel Era show but you know it was not going to be good when they did not use the Ed Welsh Quiz Wizard theme music
Steve in Pudsey and Brekkie gave kudos

They might as well have done. It's pretty similar.

One of the celebrity specials will see David Walliams take on Amanda Holden.

As if the show wasn't off-putting enough already!

Comedy Central have uploaded the new reworked theme in full, but looped for a whole hour....

Forget the misleading title...

It does actually feature a couple of very brief clips of Dara "dancing", but I agree the title is misleading.

Nice work Rob. I love the reworking of the theme. The programme worked well and I enjoyed it a lot more than the Simon Mayo edition, but is that because of the lighter nature and added comedy value?

Looking at the original titles and I noticed ‘the hot spot’ on one of the model buildings (at least I think that they’re buildings), and I couldn’t quite remember but was that the term used for the place to stand to take on the gold run?

What are the original titles about? The earth, some form of eclipse, flying hexagons, a futuristic city, a random flashing board, a tunnel or hallway with random artwork displayed, the studio and the appearance of structures of gods?
