I didn't really like the graphics looking on my TV, but seeing them above they look great. The titles are the best about the new look, the music suits the titles, but doesn't really fit when its in the background during questions.

It's lost its classiness. It's been modernised and lost all seriousness about it.

It also feels a bit lazy that they've remixed some parts and not others. It just feels a mess in my opinion.

I don't like it.

Music has intensified at second stage, I wonder if this trend continues.

The new 'only 12 questions' is clever in that the fewer questions comes from mainly removing three from the pre-£1000 stage, which all but a handful of contestants have got to anyway. The next stage is a further five questions later as before, though this time is worth more being £50K.

The new titles, graphics, and music makes for a refreshing change. I'm glad they've kept the original set, as the layout seems to work quite well still. I noticed the phone in (to be a contestant) had more information rotating on the screen, presumably in light of the phone in saga.

A good show so far, and seems to be a good celebrity pairing for relaunching the show. It was amusing (though perhaps slight predictable) to watch Jon Culshaw suddenly impersonate Chris Tarrant. As for whether the changes will keep the series going only time will tell, as not every week will have a pair of comedians in the chair.

But the new auditions should insure more characters.

I miss the heartbeats on the higher questions and the ad titles are awful.

It's a mixed bag. Music-wise the upbeat remixed dancey-ness of the main theme and the earliest questions takes the seriousness and edge off the atmosphere which is no good thing...

- but then once it's past £1000 it becomes tense and a bit ominous, which is much more like what I would've expected, and it fits the new graphic style and scheme better.

Speaking of the graphic updates, they are fine, apart from perhaps the font change for the question/answers text.

NB: Coming out of the break just then there was a bit of a nasty glitch over the sponsorship - was that just me?

What's going on with the Ragu ad-bumper? Bad upload?

I thought that was just in Black Hill due to the bad weather we are getting here in Glasgow. Confused

I was watching it on UTV and it did the same. God these two are thick.

I got that snowstorm sound, like you get on channel presets not tuned to an analogue signal - with the sound on. I got that on ITV1 through my system: Freeview from Rowridge using a Pace DTVA. Downright annoying really, it sounds awful. I hope it's just a temporary fault they'll rectify soon.
