Caught the end of the omnibus while I was half asleep, and noticed that the theme tune and credits have been drastically altered. In my lumbering state I gathered that the theme sounds a lot gentler than in recent years, echoing the original music, and the closing credits seem longer than before with a slower scroll. Anynone have any caps or vids?

If you're talking about the one I think you are, then it changed earlier in the year.

In early-mid February at least, it definitely was in-use; as I recall a technical glitch from the start of an episode which promptly led to a breakdown animation much like the generic ident I've seen on analogue, but mute with white logo on green, not B&W. On the subject of caps, I don't have recording of the show titles uninterrupted, I'm afraid!

The current titles were introduced on 29 October last year -- the opening titles are shorter but the closing titles are indeed longer.

Mind you I'm sure it would be rather easy to get a video, considering the programmes is shown many times daily on the digital service.

Note the use of the old logo at the end of the credits!

Thanks for those! Love the music and the opening titles. Not sure about the "V" valleys symbol - it looks a bit MSPaint to me! Also odd that they haven't done anything about the old logo in the final credits frame.
