The second main grid - TV shows that had words in their theme tunes - had previously appeared as an Auction Grid in Episode #5.7 (1998).

The first Auction Grid - nicknames for jazz musicians - had first appeared in Episode #3.5 (1995).
Only four answers were the same on both grids: "Bird", "Count", "Jelly Roll" and "Satchmo". However, adding to the suspicion that the Bob Monkhouse era was made slightly easier, this edition saw the last name of the musicians added to the answer, rather than just the nickname by itself, eg. "'Jelly Roll' Morton" instead of just "Jelly Roll".
