I've always suspected that's why they changed the intro sequence to the one with Bully in the studio - All but one (Dave Whitcombe, later two with Mike Gregory) of the darts players you see on the bus were part of the WDC rebels and Tony Green (who I believe was an in-law of Olly Croft) was very much on the BDO side of things.

Had a quick check and although some of the rebels appeared in the 1994 series, it could have been filmed before all the legal stuff started. Although in saying that, apparently Rod Harrington was on a 1995 episode and he was pretty much leading the WDC case at that point.

Those caricatures may well have been outdated by then anyway, it had been what, six years since that opening's introduction? Even something as simple as a long haired player getting a short haircut, or someone going grey, would render that animation obsolete. I'd be surprised if all the darts players still looked like their cartoon versions when they dropped that version of the titles.
