The 1991 revamp was also notable for moving the Top 10 to the start of the show - well after the opening performance. I suspect this was Appel reviving the pre-1980 routine of the chart at the start of the show, without presenter voiceover, for no particular reason other than that's how it used to be (indeed it was put back at the end of the show pretty quick).
Another producer change I've noticed was in the Jan 1981 episodes recently repeated by BBC4; the brief return to the kaleidoscope end credits when Robin Nash comes back on board for a bit. It really feels like things take a step backwards after largely ending with the crowd dancing throughout the second half of 1980.
