Relaunched on Monday 6 Oct. It seems to be a shameless copy of Channel 5's It Pays to Watch . Same logo - "Piggy " sameish set of 3 areas. Guests sat in the middle. A new consumer orientated slant and happy and upbeat. Declan and Naga present. Judge for yourself !

It was time for it to move on to bigger and better things...

There's a video on the Working Lunch website about the new look, sounds like there is a rather cheap remix of the theme too:

It's a shame they've re-recorded the theme music. The arrangement they had was the same one they've been using since the launch of the programme in 1994. I don't think the new one sounds as nice as the original. That means the longest serving current BBC news theme music is World Business Report. That's been in use since 1997. I can't think of any other theme that has lasted as long as that.

Indeed, couldn't agree more. It's a disgrace if they have.

Poor fish. Nothing is sacred.

Is Dateline London still using the original 1997 music? (From when it launched as "Dateline London with Charles Wheeler")

Hmm, I didn't see it that early on but it's quite possible. The first time I saw it was in c.2000 and it has used the same music ever since.

Without wishing to overplay the significance of this change, I have only this to say.

BAS TARDS.

It was still using the original music in 2000 - so I guess it is still using the original music now!

They got ridded of teh fishies!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!!!!!! A HERESY! Kill the bass tards!

TBH, the new programme looks s***. The whole point of the old program was that it covered the world financial markets and how events there affected the consumer. The new programme looks like a magazine-format Don't Get Done, Get Dom - however, I'll give it a chance. I'm still not sure if I can forgive them for sending the fish down the Job Centre.
