The repeat of the 2011 special of Only Connect Champion of Champions just shows to show much has changed in the last 13 years on this show...
A heavier font, everything and then some more is 4:3 safe, the colours are slightly more garish than they later become, even the split screen for the Connection Wall had a 3D look to all elements (and the step forward, which they later got rid of) and everything just looks so squashed to fit the 4:3 frame. And a final round that goes on seemingly forever and is a lot faster
I miss the faster/longer end game in the modern incarnation of this show, but IIRC it was changed when the show moved to BBC Two (this would have been seen originally on BBC Four).
