Summer 2003 saw the show adopt the new news and current affairs standard set around the time of the launch of [[YSTV Week]], also featuring the same set. A new title sequence (desired for years due to the out-dated content of the previous one) was finally created by [[Steve Walker]] in November of that year. It featured a new stylised Bona Dicta logo flying around Central Hall. The logo was suggested by [[Jonathan Bufton]] and featured the word "Dicta" in reverse, attached to "Bona" (see below). This also lent itself to a contracted "BD" version which featured on the programme's graphics. There was also a new theme tune, a more down-beat version of the [[YSTV Week]] theme tune. | Summer 2003 saw the show adopt the new news and current affairs standard set around the time of the launch of [[YSTV Week]], also featuring the same set.

Around March 2004 [[James Gallagher]] became the regular presenter of the programme, in addition to his work for [[URY]] and [[Nouse]] - leading to him being awarded the Media Personality Of The Year award at the 2004 [[YUMAs]]. The programme had by now doubled in length to one hour and begun debating national politics as well as campus politics. There was also an effort to include VTs, such as the previous fortnight's UGM highlights. | ||

The show returned in the week of [[Elections 2007]] for two special debate programmes, meaning it must be one of the few programmes on YSTV to notch up ten year on air (other than coverage of events such as Elections, Roses etc). However these turned out to be the last episodes to date to be broadcast by YSTV. In late 2007 a Facebook group was created suggesting a revamped version of the show was to be produced but this does not appear to have happened. | |||
