The title sequence WAS longer than the LWT versions, the entire theme song played in it - in the LWT version the song was still playing when the logo appeared over a studio shot, segueing to the presenter intros.

I was honestly expecting the BBC version to be a lot shorter, given how that is the trend in most shows nowadays. For it to be longer was bizzarre, and makes me think they had a different piece of music originally planned (something that actually fit with the rest of the show's accompaniment).

If you play the BBC version at 1.25x speed after the initial "G" animation, it actually fits reasonably with the original version of the theme.
