TV shows that completely changed their theme tune

The last series was a bit of a mess in terms of branding. You're right that there was never a proper title sequence, but it launched with the House of Fun remix which was generally interspersed with shots around the house and as a "coming up" sequence up to about Christmas. A few weeks before the end of 1998 they started ending each show with Having a Party by The Osmonds, which from the new year opened the show too, accompanied by a dance routine that they encouraged people to copy at home (yes, really). However throughout all this House of Fun was still used for the short stings that introduced guests, presumably because Having a Party didn't really work for that.

A few weeks before the axe they stopped bothering with the dance routine and did the camera spin with a House of Fun sting instead, as they clearly couldn't be arsed with it anymore. As you can see in the clip above this clearly upset at least one person, so they reinstated the dancers you see later in the clip who remained until the final show.

The logo was also changed in the last series to an animated party streamers thing, but this didn't lend itself to a static version, so the old logo could still be seen on some of the set around the house. A dogs-dinner of a rebrand.

The Cartoon Network show Johnny Test changed its theme song after the first season.

As much as I adored the theme that came to be, I can't help but feel that first title sequence was unbearably long and pretty pointless.

Speaking of TV shows that gave used the same theme tune, didn't Deal or No Deal end up using a theme used for a Car Share/Carpool show?

But it still does get airtime on BBC1 - they announce the results immediately before Match of the Day on Saturdays which is a very prominent slot and gets a couple of million viewers, plus it's more consistent than in the later years of the live draw when it shuffled around all over the place. And on Wednesday it's now on straight after the news rather than before when you had ten minutes of fiddling around before it and everyone switched off. So I think the lottery results are just as prominent on BBC1 as they ever were.

Was looking at this continuity clip which took me back to the old Songs of Praise theme. This was replaced by the current theme, of which there have been several different arrangements. Starts at 16 m 32 approx.

Has Points of View been mentioned?

It originally used Yaaka Hula Hickey Dula, then changed to When I'm Sixty Four at some point in the 80s. From the late 80s and much of the 90s it had some 'classic'-type tune played on a cornet or something similar. Then in the 2000s "blah boobidy baya' and then an instrumental version without the 'blah boobidys' in it.

Your missing northern soul a library piece used from lates70s to 1982?
Not the nine o clock news used it wonderfully for its piss take.

£32. It's a disgrace it should be £400

I could only go on my memory and Google. I don't remember anything first hand before the Anne Robinson era and that quirky cornet tune; complete with anthropomorphic letters.

Evidently I’ve missed something.... 🤔

This is the theme I always think of.

Used to always annoy me how the letters with legs in the titles get scrapped when the end board comes up and it's just some white lettering used instead.

They don't do the classic thing of using one word "rubbish" from letters in the middle of Anne's sentences anymore like they used to do in those days.

Also the classic ending "we'll be back in 3 weeks" that used to be a mainstay of 1990s POV.
