Millionaire did change its titles every three years during its original run: evolution in 2001, revolution in 2004 (taking away the people), revolution again in 2007 (adding imagery of the game), and evolution in 2010 (adding the clock at the end).
This thread *was* intended to be about UC, so I'll point out that since its 1994 return it's had three changes of title sequence, in 2000, 2004 and 2013 respectively. The set changed each time, too, while 2000 also saw the introduction of the Balanescu Quartet's version of the theme tune and 2013 marked the move from the old Granada Studios to Dock10.
Of course, a change in host doesn't necessarily mean changes in anything else, be it theme tune, title sequence, format, set or filming location - as demonstrated by Countdown several times now, and also by Mastermind when Clive Myrie took over. But UC *has* had almost the exact same look for a decade now - so with *its* change in host, might ITV Studios/Lifted decide that now is the time to change the titles and set?
And on another subject, will UC bring back a studio audience - or is the canned applause expected to be permanent now, just as it's expected to be permanent on the regular 'Down?
