The title sequence used time-lapse footage of that year's [[Battle of the Bands]]rig and other campus clips, edited by [[Ed Jellard]] and going on to be highly commended at 2004's [[NaSTA]] awards.  The theme tune was an original composition by [[Rob Humphrey]], Kev Gedge and others, which went on to be used for 2004's programme and 2005's [[Bona Dicta]] specials and 60 Second Manifesto.  It was revived (in a remixed form) for 2007's show.

Other than the technical problems listed the content on the night went smoothly.  The programme's main legacy was the links set - immeditately afterwards it became YSTV's generic news and current affairs set, and was used for [[YSTV Week]], [[Bona Dicta]] and all future election night programmes.  In recent years it has made all manner of appearances on shows such as [[YSTV Sport]], [[The Sofa Show]], [[FourPlay]] (after being repainted orange) and most recently [[YSTV News]] (now painted red and silver).  The coffee bar set made it's debut on [[Have I Got News For YUSU]] a week earlier, but has since appeared on 2004, 2005 and 2006's election night programmes and also [[The Great Big Massive YSTV Christmas Quiz Game Show Thingy 2003]].  It is now part of the regular [[LipSync]] and [[Welcome to Venus]] sets.  All of this is a testament to the hard work put in designing and building in early 2003.   
Other than the technical problems listed the content on the night went smoothly.  The programme's main legacy was the set, which remains in use to this day.  Immeditately afterwards the links area became YSTV's generic news and current affairs set, and was used for [[YSTV Week]], [[Bona Dicta]] and many future election night programmes.  In later years it made all manner of appearances on shows such as [[YSTV Sport]], [[The Sofa Show]], [[FourPlay]] (repainted orange), [[YSTV News]] (repainted red and silver) and many, many more besides.  The coffee bar appeared on many subsequent election night programmes, but it has since been used most regularly in panel game-type shows, for which it isn't entirely suited due to the sharp point of the wood join at the back where the presenter sits, as it was originally designed to be sat in front of.  However it serves the purpose well, and has featured on [[Have I Got News For YUSU]], [[The Great Big Massive YSTV Christmas Quiz Game Show Thingy 2003]], [[LipSync]], [[Welcome To Venus]] and [[Your Answer's Rubbish]] to name but a few.  All of this is a testament to the hard work put in designing and building in early 2003.
