At the start of 1999, an attempt was made to give the show a bit more production. A title sequence consisting of UGM footage and talking heads was made by [[Chris Ward]] accompanied by a new version of the old [[Week by Week]] theme music digitally recreated by [[Paul Soulsby]]. This title sequence was used for nearly five years, which may be the {{unsure|longest time any piece of footage has been used so regularly on YSTV.}} The closing credits included footage from that evening's show - making use of the new Mac edit suite that had recently been acquired. | At the start of 1999, an attempt was made to give the show a bit more production.

The new-look show went on to win two awards at the 1999 NaSTA conference in Glasgow for News & Current Affairs and Title Sequence. The wins were featured in the Yorkshire Evening Press shortly afterwards including an interview with Julie Knox. | The new-look show went on to win two awards at the 1999 NaSTA conference in Glasgow for News & Current Affairs and Title Sequence (See the [[Press Clippings]]).

Julie continued to present the show until [[James Brookes]] took over throughout much of 1999-2000, after which the presenters were never consistent, changing very frequently. Due to the political nature of the programme it was probably the most watched on the station - usually by other campus hacks eager to see their friends. When the programme went online in October 2004 it was one of the most-watched on the website, with each edition attracting hundreds of hits. Despite this Bona Dicta was often derided for being stale, or dull, or unexciting to crew. | Julie continued to present the show until [[James Brookes]] took over throughout much of 1999-2000, after which the presenters were never consistent, changing very frequently.
