The second introduced a more glossy feel and was hosted by a computerised voice, illustrated on [[Big Telly]] by sound waves. The new look title sequence (a far more stylish version of the first sequence) and graphics which appeared in this season were designed by [[Matt Hammond]]. The set featured a steel walkway on which contestants were invited to walk along to reach the console being used for that round, this was infact just the cable trunking which would later form the monitor rack shelves built to house the [[Cub Conversion|Cub monitors]]. | The second introduced a more glossy feel and was hosted by a computerised voice, illustrated on [[Big Telly]] by sound waves.

It was revived for a third series in November 2002 by [[Michael Prior-Jones]] with an attempt at a more Sci-Fi look and feel (the title sequence was an obvious Red Dwarf [[rip-off]]!). The same title music and graphics were used for this series, which was hosted by [[Dave Baker]] as a disembodied head. The titles featured Michael and [[Ed Jellard]] running around Goodricke in boiler suits, which went onto be the stock "uniform" for all the contestants and were used many times for other productions in years to come. An enormous set of the space station "bridge" was constructed in the studio, so enormous in fact that the cameras couldn't really do justice to it. The photos on YSTV's website however illustrate it quite well. The series was transmitted after [[Bulletin]] every week in Spring 2003, culminating in the grand final on the night of [[Elections 2003]]. | It was revived for a third series in November 2002 by [[Michael Prior-Jones]] with an attempt at a more Sci-Fi look and feel (the title sequence was an obvious Red Dwarf [[rip-off]]!).
