They wouldn't be able to do a bank transfer on the day because the prize is only issued to the contestant after an audit process which takes several weeks. During the original run, the cheque was mailed out once that process was complete.
On one occasion in 2009, said cheque actually bounced, causing much embarrassment all round.

I remember this contestant who won £125,000, but had a conviction for fuel theft, by the time they eventually decided to pay it he only had a short chance to spend it before he sadly passed away, and since he had no close family most of the winnings went back to the Crown!

They'd also not be sent it until the episode has aired, right?

They would be sent out beforehand but the cheque would be post-dated to the week the episode aired.

I'm glad they've opted for new titles. I thought they'd be going back to the 2010 titles given that they're currently the standard International titles being used. I always thought they looked very cheaply animated.
I hope they don't use the remixed theme from these titles either and opt for new ones. They use this theme in the current promo so I'm not sure on this one.

Just come back from the first show recording- you'll all be pleased to know that the original music is back- no sign of the remix.

I always thought the music was edited in afterwards. How much can you hear the music in during the recording?

I always assumed this too- could hear the music quite clearly during the recording though. I never went to one of the recordings for the original series so not sure if this was always the case.
Also- can confirm that Jeremy uses "bank transfer" to give the winnings rather than a cheque.
